As a result of the Church Size Summits we have done over the last year and a half, we realize that there is a missing component of church life in many of our churches and that is PROGRAMMING.

- What programming should look like in different size churches
- The issues around programming for children and youth
- How to start where you are and build toward where you want to be
- How to use some programming as an additional income stream
- Helpful resources
What It Will Cost:
