Is the goal of your church to get and keep members in order to fill board vacancies and increase the number of pledging units? Does your church operate as a kind of club: pay your "dues" and you will get benefits?  There is another way! We will discuss how the post-Christendom era requires a different model of church, and you will hear how one church transitioned from being a “membership model” to a “discipleship model” of church -- putting its focus on nurturing people’s relationship with God through Christ -- and was completely transformed in the process.

Lake View Congregation Church- UCC, Worcester is committed to Enlighten, Engage and Empower the Laity to Teach and Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and reclaim the Ministry of All Believers.  Mr. Robert Ochoa, Pastor.
