Thom and Sam will examine likely outcomes, including mergers, shifts in real estate markets, increased competition for young families, and the growing role of immigration. This webinar is designed to help church leaders think clearly, plan wisely, and prepare faithfully for the next 10 to 25 years.

Mission and discipleship are connected at the root. Today we’re going to explore some of those connections, not only through our guest’s own life, but also through her experience with particular discipleship programs, as well as what she’s learned through a first career as a geographer and her husband’s career as a mechanic.
