November 13th, 10:00am – 10:45am
The call of our churches is to make disciples in all the land, yet many times, we can find the communities we serve hostile to our message. National Community Church has thrived in the very diverse Washington DC area, by reaching out to the community, but staying true to their Christian values. In this session, Pastor Mark Batterson will address the complexities of cultural engagement, helping you navigate the delicate balance between inclusivity and theological integrity. You’ll gain insights into building bridges with various communities, fostering understanding, and how we can reach a diverse audience for Christ while maintaining our theological and scriptural integrity.
You must have your Brushfire attendee number to access virtual summit.
