This month we hosted an annual gathering for church planting couples. Together these leaders were able to learn, pray, share with one another, and take some time for rest.

This year Rick & Jamie Atchley spoke, and they were able to share so much wisdom all about their decades of ministry and marriage. Rick serves as Lead Pastor at The Hills Church — a congregation that has invested in many new church plants around the country. We are so thankful for their hearts and generosity!
