Small membership churches still have a God-given purpose to fulfill!

 

 

 

Do you want to be a vibrant, fruitful, and growing congregation?

 

                                                                                                       

 

The Small Membership Church Committee is pleased to announce that Julia-Kuhn Wallace, SMC Specialist, is leading four workshops spread across our conference in both urban and rural settings.

 


“Serving- Not Just Surviving, Through Shared Ministries”

 

This seminar is for churches (under 100 in worship) that are struggling with declining membership and the rising costs of ministry, yet want to be effective today in reaching people for Jesus Christ.
