Does your church seek vitality, growth, and most importantly, to offer a welcoming home for new people?
We spent time listening to rural church leaders to hear what resources they were looking for. What we clearly heard was a deep desire to go from good to great. Our United Methodist churches know how to show hospitality, and yet Rooted in Love will move a welcoming congregation to one that embraces visitors and helps them find their forever church home!
North Carolina Conference rural churches, church leaders, and pastors have an opportunity to fine-tune and further develop an identity focused on hospitality. This program is a right-sized commitment for clergy and laity with opportunities for insights and new perspectives!
