From rethinking outdated programs to leveraging new income streams, this conversation is packed with ideas to help your church stop surviving and start thriving. One Key Takeaway: Churches that thrive in today’s economy aren’t just reacting—they’re rethinking how they fund the mission, moving beyond tithes and offerings to unlock new income streams and opportunities.
