Families with disabled children are one of the largest unreached groups in America. How can your church prepare your ministries to provide safe, connected spaces for these families to worship on Sundays? Here are some non-negotiables to consider.

How do we understand disabilities and how they fit into our world? We start by understanding that every person is made in the image of God.

“Funnel Fusion didn’t just give us a compelling vision for discipleship—it completely unified our staff around it.”

“Funnel Fusion didn't just give us a compelling vision for discipleship—it completely unified our staff around it. The Church Forward team skillfully guided us through the hard conversations required to build a real, actionable roadmap for follow-through. If you want a clear path forward for your church to reinvigorate discipleship, I cannot recommend Funnel Fusion highly enough.”
— Cale Magruder, One Church @ Pleasantview

NASHVILLE (BP) – The attention brought by National Child Abuse Prevention Month for protecting the most vulnerable is not to be relegated to April and doesn’t begin with churches. It does, however, start with the Gospel.

We’re thankful for our pastors and their faithful service! 🙌

Celebrating pastor Greg Durant and his ministry—26 years and counting as pastor of True Light Baptist, faithfully serving the Flint Hills and Topeka community. From association leadership to serving with New Hope Food Pantry, his impact is far-reaching.

Along with Flint Hills Baptist Association, we’re grateful to recognize his service. Many pastors call him a friend, and he and Linda are a true blessing to so many.

Thankful for the proactive efforts from Send Kansas Nebraska to plant churches across KS/NE.

Fascinating resource shared by our friends at the North American Mission Board (NAMB) assessing the least-reached states in the US.

Top 5 states needing church planters ⬇️

We need churches wherever there are lost people.
But some places are less reached — and have greater need.

May God raise up many churches
who will train up leaders
to be sent into the harvest
to engage these places with the gospel
make disciples
and plant churches
where they are needed most.
