Discerning The Lord’s Vision for Your Parish is a great place to start, because “where there is no vision, the people perish” (Prov 29:18, KJV). This is a one full day or three-evening process with the pastor, parish staff, and a select team of prayer warriors. The process is dedicated to learning what is the difference between vision and mission, the scriptural basis of living with the Lord’s vision, and how to prayerfully discern the Lord’s vision for your particular parish (because he has a vision and wants to share it with you!).

The Gospel of Welcome: Becoming a Parish of Radical Hospitality
Every parish wants to be known as welcoming. Yet many of us have experienced walking into a church and feeling invisible, unsure of where to sit, or whether anyone even noticed we came. Real Christian hospitality goes far beyond a friendly handshake at the door. It is a way of seeing every person with the eyes of Christ—especially the stranger, the seeker, and the one who hesitates at the threshold.
The question is: how? When we are accustomed to our space and its rythyms, we may be blind to the challenges outsiders feel even approaching the door.
This workshop defines and explores the Biblical roots of radical hospitality, leads people in an assessment of their space and hospitality support, and promotes the responsibility of all the baptized in adopting holy habits of hospitality.
