Leading a church to experience greater health is a tremendous privilege and a great responsibility. It is not a task for the faint of heart. The Nelson Baptist Association, in partnership with the Church Consulting and Revitalization Team of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, want to provide you with some practical help and instruction as you navigate this journey.

We are providing a series of regional network meetings to help pastors strengthen their skills in order to more effectively lead their churches toward greater health. At each network meeting, we focus on a topic that is relevant and helpful to pastors who seek to lead their churches well.
