Helping Churches Move Forward with Clarity & Confidence
Many churches today face a variety of challenges: declining attendance, leadership challenges, and sometimes a lack of clear direction. You don’t have to navigate this alone. The NBA offers listening and futuring sessions designed to help Pastors, Ministry Leaders and Teams discern the way forward as they seek to advance the Gospel.
