The West Ohio Conference is pleased to offer this online training to our pastors and church leadership across the conference this year, which features three nationally-known, dynamic speakers. We hope that they will inspire you with ideas about how to navigate beyond our current envionment and work together to reach others and make Disciples for Jesus Christ.
Because we know that different-sized churches face different challenges, this event will feature workshop tracks focused on both small churches and on medium-sized/larger churches.
