I’ve been at Hope Summit Christian Church for a year now and the transition has been a great experience.

As I continue to grow as a leader, I find myself frequently appreciating the giftedness of experts. There is something unique that a specialist brings to the table when trying to accomplish a goal. I’ve seen it time and time again as I’ve worked with publishers, graphic designers, musicians, and educators around the country. Today [...]
