Wil Cantrell: Ministry During a Crisis – Creating Needed Change During Unpredictable Times
2020 may well be remembered as the year of crisis. As church leaders, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed concerning decisions that could effect the long-term health of our congregations, as well as fulfill our calls to ministry.
In addition to stress which can overwhelm a congregation during times of crisis, these periods can also accelerate change that might have been needed for some time.
During this session, Wil Cantrell, United Methodist pastor and author of Unafraid and Unashamed: The Future of United Methodism, will address concerns about preaching, areas of ministry and more.
