Practical Ministry Training
You've asked us to provide equipping for leaders without formal training. So we recorded video primers with Rev. Dr. J. Anthony Lloyd, senior pastor of Greater Framingham Community Church!

IS GOD CALLING FOR THE RENEWAL OF HIS CHURCH?
We brought more than 100 diverse New England leaders together in focus groups to identify what we believe God wants to change in His Church.
Through all the confusion, hurt, partisanship, and frustration of the last few years, these leaders firmly believe God is calling us back to faithfully make disciples, do justice, and foster unity to better share Jesus. In other words, the renewal of His people and His Church.
This is a job for all of us, with the Holy Spirit. We're leveraging all we can to help God's people adapt and answer Him faithfully. To learn more about what we're doing, check out our "What We Do" page here, or find resources below!
You can find a more in-depth look at our research on our Church in Action Podcast!

God is doing something different in New England than I've ever seen in my forty years in ministry here.
