Current Issues that XPs Face

Fletch and Keith Duff will talk on current issues that XPs face. These range from dealing with resignations in the last year, to hiring new staff, to building staff cohesion.

Many churches are keeping their online services while in-person attendance is rebounding—adding new dynamics to staff, congregational engagement and spiritual life. For example, Keith is at Village Bible Church that has 10 on-site and 3 online services.

Money is always a hot topic with XPs and let’s discuss trends and local issues about giving and budgets.

Questions are welcome. Bring your issues to discuss!
