Many churches are facing a difficult reality: aging congregations, declining engagement, and little connection to the next generation. If nothing changes, these churches will not survive.
Now to Next is a three-event seminar series designed to help pastors and church leaders lead their churches through generational transition with urgency, wisdom, and practical next steps. Each event will focus on a key area of preparing your church to reach and disciple the next generation. These events are FREE and sponsored jointly by Nelson Association and KBC Central Region.
Your church still has a mission. Your community still needs the gospel. The time to prepare for what’s next is now.
