New Year Greeting



Pastor Brad Little, Regional Executive Director

Venture Church Network Midwest 


The ENGAGE forum has been suspended

for the month January,

but you will be invited to RE-ENGAGE in February.





The Purpose of ENGAGE is to address gospel and missional critical issues and challenge our thinking related to pastoral ministry, leadership and the purpose of our churches.


The Goal of ENGAGE is to continue to become gospel-centered, grace driven, biblically anchored churches passionately committed to fulfill the mission of Christ.
