Network Partnership
“We’re looking for ways to connect with, learn from, and share resources not only with our family of spread out churches, but also with a broader movement of like-minded Jesus-centered churches and ministries. Being a Jesus Collective Partner is a great fit… it helps us resource our churches and develop our leaders in ways that complement what we’re set up to do as part of a denomination. And we get to be part of a wonderful Kingdom community along the way!”
- Christina Bosserman, BIC Great Lakes Conference
