Fresh Expression In-person 3-11-26

The Fresh Expressions team will be offering six in-person "Listening Sessions". (As well as monthly opportunities on Zoom. See link below.) These sessions are an opportunity for church leaders, both pastors and lay people, to meet with Fresh Expressions coaches and Church Development team members who can hear your dreams and plans for growing new missional communities in your setting. Whether you are hoping to launch your first Fresh Expression, are exploring what that means, or are currently leading these kinds of ministries and need to work on what comes next - we're here for you! There are five time-slots each day and sessions are typically 45 minutes. You will leave with resources and tools for taking your next steps. You may bring other members from your church to attend the session; however, you can only register one person.

Time slots are for one hour starting at 9:00 AM (ET) and go through 3:00 PM (ET) with a break for lunch at noon.
