Thriving Essentials is an interactive course that’s renewing congregations and reenergizing engaged members across our denomination. Hosted in your own church and led by a qualified Thrive facilitator, participants will explore four core concepts of a healthy ministry: Mission, Discipleship, Discernment, and Leadership. Alignment and clarity on these key foundations can bring renewed energy to a church’s ministry.
Thriving Essentials is designed for everyone who cares about the life and vitality of your congregation. Whether you’re a pastor, elder, volunteer, or active member, you’ll walk away with a focused clarity, shared language, and practical tools to help your church flourish.
Churches that have completed Thriving Essentials say it’s sparked new energy, deeper conversations, and instilled a stronger sense of unity in their ministry.
Bring Thriving Essentials to your church and discover what’s possible when your whole congregation aligns around the four concepts and begins to build a more unified vision and a focused direction.
