Pastoral Staff Day 2020

When fires reach maximum overload, they die out. Constant activity on top of dwindling resources can smother the fire of our faith. How do we feed that fire? How do we move from an administrative ministry model to an evangelical, missionary model that sets people on fire for Christ? With humor and insight, Julianne will inspire us to reclaim the fire of faith to go forth and make missionary disciples today.
