The Gem City Church Collective is launching their new Think Tank. The first session kicks off on Thursday, October 16 from 2:30-4pm. At these gatherings, pastors, lay leaders, and church teams will be equipped with actionable insights for effective ministry. Each session features expert insights, followed by interactive discussions where participants can collaborate, reflect, and leave with practical takeaways to implement in their local contexts.

Session 1 is Catalytic Outreach featuring Brad Aycock, Director of Fresh Starts and New Beginning for the West Ohio Conference. Outreach is more than an event—it’s a movement that can spark transformation in your church and community. In this first session with Brad Aycock, a recognized leader in church innovation and revitalization, you will learn key strategies for building and sustaining outreach momentum.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ What makes outreach catalytic? – How to move beyond one-time events to lasting engagement
✅ Shifting from attractional to missional models – Reaching people where they are
✅ Sustaining momentum – Turning outreach into ongoing discipleship

Whether your church is looking to grow, engage its community in fresh ways, or revitalize its outreach strategy, this session will provide practical takeaways to create lasting impact.

Pastors, lay leaders, outreach coordinators, and anyone passionate about reaching their community with the Gospel.
