ERWIN McMANUS LEADERSHIP SERIES: AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE
An unstoppable force created to change the world...
That's what God has in mind for His Church. What about your church?
New life will come to the church that realizes its true destiny is found in the practices of the early church.
"A church that dares to cut itself free from atrophied practices and programs to flourish in creative and compelling worship" ...is a church that is taking its rightful place, says Erwin.
Becoming an Unstoppable Force is about finding your calling beyond the "cookie cutter copy" of a "successful church."
It's about the living body of Christ reaching out to our multi-sensory, multi-layered culture with music, arts and other unique expressions of love and faith.
Join CCN and Erwin McManus for a new kind of training series designed to nourish the spiritual lives of leaders.
Erwin calls you to become a church that has found its own voice and identity in expressing Christ's love to your culture.
Receive keys to help you:
