All of us understand that caring for one-another, motivated by love and self-sacrifice, is meant to be a foundational characteristic of the body of Christ. The reality though, can often be very challenging, and trying to grow this kind of community takes time, intentionality and wisdom.
During this conference, we will explore some of the practical steps your church can take in cultivating a culture of care that reflects the heart of Christ’s call to “love one another“(John 13:34).
