by The Rev. Louise Johnson, LEAD Director of Leadership Development

So many congregations and church leaders are struggling right now. Declining numbers of worshippers and a drop in giving exacerbated by a global pandemic and rising racial tensions have left many congregations with a lot of questions about the future.

LEAD knows that the way forward is built on years of research, skilled practitioners, colleague groups, and well-honed processes that help each congregation find their way in their own context. The LEAD Journey does just that. The three-year process transforms congregations by deepening discipleship, discerning mission, and changing culture. Cohorts of congregational teams from across the country come together in an online environment to learn and grow.

This holiday season, your faithful desire to see congregations grow, reach out to their communities, and thrive can be realized in a gift to LEAD. Your gift will support LEAD’s work with congregations and leaders who are hungry to grow and change. Together we can make the difference for our church.
