This month, on July 19th, Rich Birch of UnSeminary will be joining to coach you through the practical strategies for inspiring your church members to proactively extend invitations to more people. You’ll walk away with actionable steps to foster a culture of invitation within your congregation, ultimately expanding your church’s reach and impact.

And, of course, he’ll coach you through your specific questions when it comes to this.

If you want to join the Live Coaching, you can sign up at theartofleadershipacademy.com.

In addition to the live coaching, you’ll get access to all of my training programs on topics like preaching more engaging sermons, developing an effective outreach strategy, creating a culture of growth at your church, finding and engaging better volunteers, and more.

If you want in on this month’s Live Coaching Call on fostering a culture of invitation at your church, be sure to join before July 19th.

If you choose to join after, you’ll get access to all future calls and a replay of the previous ones—but the magic is being there live.
