Highlights from the Leadership Team Retreat

Recently on the Mark Prater podcast, Mark shared about the recent leadership team retreat where they discussed everything from church adoptions, to publishing efforts, to the upcoming 2024 Pastors Conference. One of the highlights were details on some upcoming church plants. Here is a clip from that conversation with Ben Kreps. The full podcast is linked below.

The Church Planting Group and Joel Shorey, our new Director of Church Planting, just had a retreat last month. And so Jon gave us an update on that. It's just so encouraging to see what work our church planting group is doing and now the leadership that Joel is bringing not only to them, but to our church planting efforts. And that's just very timely because we have six to seven, I think, church plants planned here in the states over the next two years. (Ben: "let's go") And then another 10 outside the states over the next two to three years. So in the next two to three years, we're going to plant somewhere between 16 and 17 churches if things go as planned.
