HEALTHY RURAL CHURCHES ROUNDTABLE
3:45 – 4:45
Room: Spartan
Ministry in a rural context is a very unique challenge. This break out session is geared towards those who are looking for encouragement as they serve in a rural communities. We will hear from churches that have found new life and a renewed mission. We will share celebrations, struggles and lessons learned. There will be space to share your struggles and have your sisters and brothers speak into and pray for you and your ministry situation. There is a distinct advantage that rural churches have over urban churches and we will see how this advantage could be the spark of hope and new life in your church and ministry life.
