Why do so many churches struggle to reach and engage men? Join us for a special conversation with David Murrow, author of Why Men Hate Going to Church. David’s influential book explores why many men feel disconnected from church and how our church culture and ministry practices may unintentionally contribute to the problem. We’ll discuss the principles behind the book and their practical implications for reaching, engaging, and discipling men—especially here in New England. REGISTER HERE

What if prayer became less about bringing God a list and more about aligning our hearts, words, and faith with what He has already spoken?
In this one-hour webinar, Daniel McGhee will lead a practical and encouraging session on praying God’s promises from Scripture. Together, we will explore how to turn passages like Joshua 21:45 into bold, faith-filled prayers of declaration, blessing, and agreement with God’s truth.
Participants will learn how praying God’s promises helps put God at the center of prayer, grounds our confidence in Scripture, strengthens faith, and gives us language to bless ourselves and others with the Word of God. This session will also address common hesitations many believers feel around speaking blessings and declarations, and will offer simple tools for using our words to build up, encourage, and pray with biblical confidence.
Whether your prayer life feels strong or stuck, this webinar will help you pray with greater clarity, faith, and alignment with God’s promises. REGISTER HERE

Many churches want to reach their community—but often feel stuck, under-resourced, or unsure what actually works. In this webinar, we’ll take a fresh look at outreach—not as programs or events to host, but as relationships to build. You’ll discover why many outreach efforts fall flat, and how simple, consistent connection can make a lasting impact in any community. We’ll explore practical, low-cost ways to engage people, build genuine friendships, and create natural opportunities for follow-up and gospel conversations—without needing a large team or budget. Whether you serve in a small church, church plant, traditional setting, or urban or rural community, this conversation will help you move from activity to impact. REGISTER HERE
