Online Workshop: Beyond the Sidelines

0000-00-00 00:00:00

Beyond the Sidelines: Bringing mission back to the centre!

Wednesday 22 July, 7pm

Kim Shaw, Korowai Coaching

An online workshop for mission enablers, local leaders and anyone passionate about what God is doing in the world!

Mission is both the calling of the whole church and God sends individuals, as a vital expression of that calling. But less people are being sent, and mission can easily drift to the sidelines of church life.

This workshop explores what it looks like to lead mission toward the centre—without pressure, and without falling into outdated models. You will leave with clarity for your context and support for next steps.

Free training, or VIP option of $35 gives access to coaching and more.
