Yes. Small Church BIG Deal can travel! It would be great to take the name across the country but it requires things to be done a certain way.

answer
Absoutely! And for less money and effort than hosting and planning a huge conference event. Chris has also done denominational meetings, pastor retreats and local ministerial association gatherings.
answer
My one-day events last 7-8 hours with 4 to 5 sessions by Chris along with lots of interaction and discussion. Usually the host provides lunch. Simpler the better. Fill out the contact form and Chris can work something out.
answer
Being a 20+ year ministry veteran Chris can speak to any of the issues facing small churches. From finance, outreach and kids ministry to helping the pastor think rightly about ministry and helping the church's leaders think beyond "small".
answer
The SCBD teaching videos are short, topical teachings that address different aspects of small church ministry starting with the spiritual and mental health and outlook of the pastor. Topics are limited now but will be added to over time. To access them you can watch one for free and the rest become available for a small membership fee. Webinars will be accessible starting in January 2020.
