Join Sixteen:Fifteen for The Mobilized Church™ workshop! Together we will explore seven keys to help your church and missions leaders cultivate a vibrant missions culture, unlocking your church’s potential to reach the nations.
For two decades, Sixteen:Fifteen has coached countless churches across the United States helping them deepen and strengthen their global missions engagement. After evaluating our most effective and fruitful churches, we found certain commonalities that are evidenced in Scripture. We have collected data, experiences, and wisdom from these churches, creating two interactive options that will help your church develop a personalized plan, owned by church and missions leaders, to cultivate a vibrant missions culture to engage the nations more effectively.
We call this The Mobilized Church™ – Keys to Unlocking Your Church’s Missions Potential.
