This two hour seminar, sponsored by “The Centre for Congregational Renewal” of the CABC, is for pastors and church leaders. The presenter, Michael Harvey, gave up his high level executive job in the City of London to teach church leaders to see new possibilities, using an approach that has quickly become established as Back to Church Sunday which now takes place in 17 countries resulting in 1 million+ accepted invitations. He is the author of the book Unlocking the Growth. Michael will explore how to develop a “culture of invitation.”
Types of take-aways from this two hour seminar include:
- Learning how to produce a unique mission field for your church at any given time
