Connection Meetings

Connection Fellowships will be on tour - on location at strategic churches of all sizes and styles in the Southwest Region. While on site, we will begin with a tour of the facilities, followed by a time to glean from the staff and/or lay leaders on how they effectively serve through specific ministries. We will conclude with open dialog while sharing a fellowship meal. These meetings are for pastors, ministerial staff, and their spouse.

Choose a location and date that is best for you! Connection Fellowships begin at 11am.

Power Breakfast and Lunches

The informal setting around the restaurant table provides a relaxed atmosphere to encourage one another, pray for one another and receive some valuable tools and resources to use in ministry.  These breakfasts and lunches are smaller, more intimate groups of pastors and ministerial staff and more convenient for you.
