EMPOWERED GROUPS: Pray - Serve - "Invite"
We are happy to announce the theme for 2018:
EMPOWERED GROUPS: Pray - Serve - "Invite"
We will discuss how we can empower our groups to pray together, serve together, and invite others not only to our groups, but also to have conversations about God.
We encourage you to invite all church leaders, staff, group leaders, and group members and any other person you feel could potentially benefit from these topics.

William “Bill” J. Duey teaches at the Crossover in Mattoon, IL and serves as the director of Fit-2-Serve, a not-for-profit he founded in 2008. The vision of Fit-2-Serve is to be a catalyst for a stronger collaborative community through relationships and service. For 24 years he served as a professor at both a state and Christian university and came to realize that service learning seems to be the pedagogy that millennials both crave and need and that Jesus frequently engaged His followers in.
Bill and Rachel married in 2017 and serve the community together in various contexts. More info on Fit-2-Serve can be found at: fit-2-serve.net.
