Colo. The church consultant introduced the gathering to ICD's critical information survey. Churches don't think strategically enough, he said. And when they don't, they get comfortable. The goal of the ICD survey is building healthy churches. For Bateman that means breaking down barriers preventing churches from growing.
Healthy congregations do more than hang signs out expecting visitors to come.
They meet people where they are. Ministry is hard work, said the Rev. Sotello Long, coordinator of the event. The workshop, he said, was designed to help churches extend their reach by giving them arms and legs for the task.
