About the Event
The Sending Church Elements Framework, Tailored for Volunteer Lay Leaders
If you are a volunteer or lay leader running your church’s missions ministry, you face a unique set of challenges. You are managing global impact in your "spare time," often without a full-time paid missions staff or a massive department budget. The Lay Missions Leader Cohort is designed specifically for you! Using Upstream’s proven Sending Church Elements framework, this cohort strips away the fluff to focus on the most critical, high-leverage steps a church can take to send well. We have adapted the format to fit the realities of volunteer ministry—offering shorter, highly focused weekly sessions during evening hours, and an accessible price point that fits a smaller church budget.
Included Resources: Participants will receive free Upstream Collective downloadable tools, resources, and frameworks to use directly in their churches.
