October 14: 100% at 100% – A Pathway towards Congregational Vitality

Presenters: Bill Brown, Lauren Jones, Joe Archie, Bessie Hamilton, and TJ Mount.
Imagine a church where every person is known, every disciple is growing, every act of love reflects Jesus, and every impact multiplies beyond what we can see. That is the vision behind 100% at 100%—a Spirit-filled movement where every congregation becomes 100% vital. This Training Tuesday invites you to catch the vision and claim your role in this bold calling. Rooted in our vitality pillars—Seeing All the People, Deepening Discipleship, Living and Loving Like Jesus, and Multiplying Impact—we’ll explore what’s possible when congregations stop settling for survival and start embracing God’s dream of abundant life. Come be informed and inspired, discover fresh hope for your congregation, and join a movement that believes every church, large or small, can flourish in mission and ministry. Together, we are 100% at 100%. Learn more and register.
