Church Business

As society changes, religious institutions are adapting the way they do business and connect with congregants. Ministering in the New Millennium is the theme for this year’s MLGW Business of Being a Church Conference. Ministers, their staff, and others leading faith activities are invited to attend the annual Business of Being a Church seminar on Friday, November 14, 2008 from 9 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. at the MLGW Training Center (4949 Raleigh-LaGrange Road).

The conference, a one-day event aims to provide faith leaders the opportunity to network, and acquire information about model programs and community resources. The conference also allows MLGW to provide this critical stakeholder group with information about utility programs, services, and activities.

An aging population, disengaged youth, and rapidly changing technology are just a few of the the topics participants can choose to learn more about. The conference is free and includes a continental breakfast and buffet lunch. The registration deadline is Friday, October 17, 2008.
