Meet Your Presenter...
Hi! I'm Nathan Teegarden. I've been a pastor for 13 years, and love to see the church’s mission move forward. I'm currently the North Campus Pastor & Connections Director at Summit Park Church in Kansas City, Missouri. So, I'm in the trenches with you, right now!
I know what it's like to see guests coming to the church and then experience the frustration of them not coming back the next week... Or to see the "regulars" just sit on the sidelines and not get involved... And now with the new reality of connecting people via online ministry, I've navigated those unique circumstances, too.
There are no formulas, but there are principles that will help you increase the engagement of all people connected to your church. I invite you to join me inside the Connections Track as we look to enhance your commitment and participation from people every single week!
