If you are looking for a space to join other likeminded individuals who are interested in starting (or enhancing!) a local apartment ministry, you’ve come to the right place. This month we are kicking off the Apartment Ministry Accelerator Cohort.
Goal of the Apartment Ministry Accelerator Launch Lab Cohort: Prepare participants to confidently start and sustain a local apartment ministry by providing practical tools, faith-centered strategies, and relational approaches for discipleship and building meaningful community.
