Houses of worship are considered soft targets for those intent on doing evil. In response to the ongoing threat, the Department of Homeland Security has several resources for congregations to review and implement as they desire. Some of these resources include: Hometown Security Report which outlines the challenges and how to prepare for potential threats. […]

One of our goals is to provide tools and resources to the many churches in our great state. We do this through conferences, literature, digital media, and more. From 2016-2018, we produced a podcast called Ideas Out Loud. In it, we interviewed various leaders and experts in a variety of ministry-related fields, including VBS, discipleship, […]

On behalf of the church planter who stepped out on faith and sacrificed […]
We’re already well into the New Year and you may not have done so yet, but sometime this year you probably will. I’m not talking about exercising or dieting. I’m referring to regifting.
