SESSION 1: Assessing Current Reality

In Session 01 of the Acts 2 Journey video cohort, Alton Garrison, Ron McManus, and Mike Clarensau establish the foundation for the Acts 2 Journey cohort and help teams to determine where they see their church in its current life cycle.

Following the assessment, the Acts 2 Journey team shares stories of transformation and offers the invitation for leaders to take a leap of faith into the church’s new future and build a bridge of hope that the congregation can walk across.

• Every pastor needs a team.

As you walk through this series of videos and accompanying resources, be sure to include a group of lay leaders, board, and staff—people who care, believe, think, and dream about the church’s future.
