- “We all know that we’re more committed when we feel cared for and valued. But with so much on our ministry plate sometimes the things that matter most are the things we can’t find time to prioritize. Join us on September 19th as we talk about the importance of culture and care within our worship and production ministries. Relationship unlocks engagement and we are excited about growing together and championing how to make our team members feel valued more for who they are than for the gifts they bring.”
