Articles like this underscore the importance of locking arms in ministry together. #bettertogether

[Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron]

Nearly forty percent of pastors have “seriously” considered exiting ministry this year, according to a new survey. The finding comes as American churches continue to deal with disputes over COVID-19 and disagreements over racial and political issues. https://t.co/AsyvoGEazn

We believe we are better TOGETHER!

Shoutout to the original 60 who joined us for our first ever retreat. These are some of the very best and brightest men in the country and we can’t wait to see what the Lord will do through them.
