What if the people in your small-town, rural church caught a new vision? An image of rural life where the church becomes a catalyst for beautiful community once again. Where people find no-strings-attached help, where bread is broken together freely, where long-lasting friendships are formed inside and especially outside the church’s walls. Michael Beck teaches from his own 15-year experience serving aging and rural churches. In this eye-opening session, learn principles for harnessing your church’s potential and tactics for pastors and laity to implement together. You’ll leave with a realistic vision for how your rural church can help forge a future full of hope – not just for your church, but for the entire community.
