Area Ministry Strategies

Some congregations have discovered that collaborating with neighboring churches to develop Area Ministry Strategies, gives them the resources and energy needed to serve in ministry in creative, sustainable ways.  


If your congregation is interested in learning more about this process, please contact the NW Synod's Director of Evangelical Mission, Rev. Erin Nelson.
