The day begins with coffee and pastries and concludes with a catered lunch, giving you ample time to network with other local church leaders who are walking the same path. You will end the day with a dynamic panel discussion on Funding Worship Renovation Projects ensuring you leave not just with a plan, but with the knowledge of how to fund it.
