We Are Adding 155 Years of Experience to Our Team
Las Vegas, NV --- Intentional Churches is excited to be adding 155 years of church leader experience to our team. This past week, seven experienced church leaders from across the United States joined founders Bart Rendel and Doug Parks in a week long training session. We now have over 1200 years of combined experience from nearly every tribe, denomination, network, and region of the country.We believe that one day thousands of churches will be using a similar leadership system focused on the Great Commission and doubling Kingdom Impact. We are building the most experienced church leadership team to support ministries
