Fresh Hope Transformation Program
Facilitating the transition of a church’s ethos, values and vision, by helping to strategically reposition their church contextually for ongoing transformation and mission. We believe that culture and society is best transformed through expressions of the church (faith communities) that offer fresh hope. Our desire and heart is that this movement of churches shifts dramatically from an internal to an external focus capable of being present and engaging in context.
We were pushed deeper into exploring ourselves as leaders, our church culture, our understanding of church and mission, and our grasp of the underlying principles that build health and Kingdom life.”
