Words of impact from  congregations and clergy

"Thank you for organizing tonight's workshop, "Our Church Building is Too Big and Too Empty: What Do We Do?" It was truly helpful and insightful. Thank you for your time, leadership, and for offering such a meaningful resource."


"What an excellent presentation! Thank you so much for making it accessible to general public and lay leaders as well."



"The session helped me reframe and highlight what we are doing with and for children. I was encouraged that we have shifted to a more theological transformational practice of serving children and their parents based on the content of the presentation."
