Join the Acts 2 Journey
As part of an Acts 2 Journey Cohort, Vision Teams from each church work together to create a three-year strategic plan based on the five functions of a Spirit-empowered church described in Acts 2:42-47. At the link below, you’ll find more information about this powerful resource from the National Assemblies of God office.
The cost for participation is $1,000.00 per church, however, Potomac Ministry Network is underwriting 50% of the cost by a special grant – reducing the cost to $500 per church team. Registration cost includes lunch, snacks, and instructional notebooks for each team member participating. Fridays are for Pastors and spouses, while Saturdays include the entire team. Sign-up information is below, and feel free to contact bbasham@potomacag.org with questions.
