CFTROU 0187: Get to Know Your Neighbors
In this episode, we are talking about building a family of neighborhood churches. These churches draw people in and they get to see the genuine connection the neighborhood pastor has with their community. Our guests are neighborhood pastors and share their approach in reaching diverse communities. They also talk about the impact neighborhood schools make in the community, as well as the homes in those communities. Our guests also share how they motivate their congregations to go be the church out there. Our guests are Jose DaSilva, Campus Pastor of Iglesia Familiar Greenacres, Winner Olmann, Campus Pastor of Family Church Lake Park, Jose DaSilva, and Todd Thomas, Campus Pastor of Family Church Sherbrooke. Pastor Todd also leads our team of campus pastors across our family of neighborhood churches. Tune in for a great conversation!
