Learn from our mistakes (and our wins).
We’ve grown a lot in the last 20 years, and we took notes along the way. If there’s a ministry principle or practice that’s been successful—or a lesson we’ve learned—we want to share it with you.
As part of the Life.Church Open Network, you’ll have access to years’ worth of our best practices, how-to videos, and leadership development trainings.
