“This was a game-changer for us. The chance to climb up from the ‘dance floor’ of our everyday activity and discern a clarified organization future from the ‘balcony’ was the gift we needed even more than we understood at the time.
If possible, please pursue this extraordinary opportunity.”
— Tim Soerens, Parish Collective
