Our Speakers

  • Tolerance in Turbulence | September 4th

    Join us for a conversation with Rev. Dr. Chad Lakies.

    We live in a secular age. The culture is hostile. We weren’t trained for this, and we feel unprepared. We’re frustrated and exhausted in trying to figure out how to offer a winsome and effective witness. What if there’s a better way? What if we can understand the culture better?

    What if there are helpful strategies for better sharing our faith? This presentation will help you better tap into the openness to the Gospel that’s all around us and teach you an effective strategy for outreach.
