Ken Starr Joins Baptist Church – Without Attending

The
BGCM Board of Directors and staff began working on the implementation of our
First Priority 2015 strategic
initiatives during their June Meeting.
At the heart of this implementation is the transition to our new name--Churchnet.
The convention is preparing for the launch of our new
Churchnet website and ministries.
The development and implementation process will take few months to
complete, but the transition will allow us to more effectively serve
churches.
The new website will include an online resource center which will provide access to a variety of resources for churches and church leaders. The resource center will grow and expand as churches begin to use it. Churchnet will also include online training program to allow church leaders to access many training opportunities not only from our convention, but also with a variety of our training partners.
One of the exciting new opportunities we are developing is a place for online relationships and collaboration which will allow church leaders to network and learn from others who may not be geographically accessible. Churches will also be able to access consultants with expertise in a wide range of areas for one-on-one assistance.
These plans are designed to allow us to better serve churches. Watch for the launch announcement for the new Churchnet website sometime soon!
