What if the way we’re working in creative ministry isn’t working? The opportunities and needs for creative ministry have never been greater…yet this is an area that it is often plagued with burnout, tension, and misunderstanding. In this session, we’ll take a hard look at where we’ve been, where we are, and challenge you with a creative ministry manifesto and fresh challenge to rethink how we do and lead in creative ministry. You will learn prayer, people, process – in that order.
