Pastor Renewal Retreat
Pastor Renewal Retreat - Insourcing: Bringing Discipleship Back to the Local Church
with Randy Pope
Worship Leaders, Russell & Kristi Johnson
July 5-7, 2023
A healthy church is one with mature followers of Christ who are effective leaders, making and training disciples. This doesn’t happen on its own, it requires intentionality and purposeful planning. Without the right approach, we risk producing immature believers at best, and disillusioned leaders at worst. Study the example of Jesus, who labored in the lives of a few to create transformative leaders, and discover the tools you need to successfully equip your church to make effective disciples.
