Calling All Ministers

Calling all ministers!  Our annual minister’s meeting is March 11 – 9 AM – 2 PM at Riverchase Community Church.  We need you to at this meeting because we will be approving pastors, approving churches, and voting on ministers to be licensed and ordained.  Karl Vaters, author of “The Grasshopper Myth “and “Small Church Essentials” will be speaking to us in two sessions on “What’s Working in Churches that are Thriving’ and “Three Ways a Small Church can be an Effective Church.”  You do not want to miss this essential and informative meeting.

More about Karl Vaters. Karl has been in pastoral ministry for 40 years. He is the teaching pastor of  Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, a healthy small church in Orange County, California, where he has ministered for over 28 years with his wife, Shelley. They have three kids and two grandkids.

Karl produces resources for  Helping Small Churches Thrive at  KarlVaters.com. His heart is to help pastors of small churches (up to 90 percent of us) find the resources to lead well, and to capitalize on the unique advantages that come with pastoring a small church – something virtually every pastor will spend at least some of their ministry years doing. 

He also believes that big and small churches can and should work together more often – to the benefit and blessing of everyone.
