MINISTERS RETREAT RECAP
We’re SO glad we were able to spend some quality time away with those who were able to attend this year’s Retreat. The location at the Gatlinburg Convention Center was incredible and our morning services were powerful. We are looking forward to next year already!
If you were unable to join us for Retreat, we have all three of our speaker sessions available on TSOM+! We highly recommend you check out these teachings from Dr. Robert and Pamela Crosby and Dr. Rom Crum. You can click here to access these recordings!
Coming up on Nov. 11 — You don’t want to miss the next E4 Leadership Forum! It will be an incredible day of fellowship and leadership training.
