These selected resources will:

1. Focus our hearts, minds, and ministry goals on the God and Gospel that calls us to serve.
2. Remind us that it is not the latest marketing trends, nor well-crafted strategies, but humble, broken, obedient, praying hearts tuned to God’s call of kingdom service and leadership founded on a biblical, covenantal approach to ministry.
