Recently, we hosted our second annual Pipeline Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. Pipeline is a gathering for for creating constructs to develop leaders and plan for succession at every level of your church or organization, from volunteers to senior leadership and staff. Far from the typical conference, Pipeline goes in-depth on practical strategies that will change your church or organization from the inside out.
