Dear Louisiana Leaders,
COVID-19 has dominated news headlines as the pandemic has spread across the globe. We all have been forced to make decisions and alter our normal manner of life and ministry in some manner. Though this interruption may be temporary, the challenge to rethink ministry can serve as a positive catalyst. We can redefine normal for the church and change methodology for creating community and enhancing fellowship. During this interesting season, our Louisiana Network will maintain this page with a variety of links and be providing regular updates as new information is made available from national and local government leaders. We believe these updates and resources will help equip you and your leadership team to make the best decisions to lead and serve your church and community. We stand ready to serve, pray, and resource you as best we can.
Blessings,
Pastor Scott and our Network Office Team
