BUILDING A CREATIVE TEAM FROM THE GROUND UP
Building a creative team might be the toughest team you’ll ever build. People are complex, skills are scattered, and tech never stops changing. The one thing you can’t forget? You don’t have to build it alone.
Ever wish you had a place to float an idea, swap resources, or see how other churches are experimenting with new tech (yes, even AI)? That’s exactly why we created the Ministry Creatives Slack community. It’s a hub for leaders like you who are navigating the same challenges and chasing the same mission.
