The Next Wave

8 Week Cohort Training

"Principles are timeless; methods are constantly changing." - Pastor Rick Warren

In a time when it feels like the global pandemic of COVID-19 is changing everything, we’ve created a space for you to refocus on the things that have not changed in your ministry: the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. These foundational principles have the power to bring clarity and direction to this new ministry season we’re all in together.
