Pastors Gathering Breakfast: Creating Partnerships for Human Flourishing

This is part of a series of gatherings designed to give pastors and ministry leaders the opportunity to learn from one another as we seek to develop whole-life disciples in our church communities. Each gathering focuses on a different topic and is facilitated by pastors who have especially considered how the topic shapes their approach to pastoring. Our topic at this gathering:

Creating Partnerships for Human Flourishing

Find out how the local church can effectively partner with community nonprofits in ways that promote genuine human flourishing. Hear an experienced leader share his insights and best practices for truly helping others.

Watch the seminar recordings

This gathering will draw on content from Pastor Bryan Loritts' October 16 seminar on faith and the modern workplace. Watch the recordings here.
