MERGERS
Mergers are a great strategy to amplify our reach within our communities and advance the Gospel. We believe we are better together.
What is a church merger?
A merger is simply two or more churches becoming one – committing to work together as a vibrant, healthy expression of Christ’s body – the Church – for multiplied impact.
