Watch the June 1 Leadership Forum
Future of Church Forum: 7:00pm
An expert on innovation and congregational mission, Rev. Dr. Dwight Zscheile will talk about embracing innovation as a way to multiply leadership, grow mission and advance the spreading of the Gospel as a way to invigorate church and make it more relevant. He’ll use the example of Martin Luther as the ultimate innovator in “meeting people where they are” and how that is a powerful tool for any church in 2025 wondering how they can grow their community and increase their impact in their congregations, their neighborhood, the broader community, and the world.
