Why aren’t people coming to church more consistently? Why aren’t our people more engaged? People in our culture seem to be hurting and in need, but how can we find and help them?

Whether your church is focused on increasing outreach or engaging more deeply with your existing people, creating and keeping connection with people is essential. In this session, we’ll cover four shifts in mindset and application that pastors and their staff can use to stay connected to their people and communities.
