From Gary Rohrmayer - President Converge MidAmerica

May is Church Health Month!

He writes, "The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished..." Titus 1:5. Some commentators say that Titus was working with 100 churches or more on the island of Crete.

Dear Pastor,

We would like to invite you to join us on Thursday, August 15, 2013 to hear about a program called Ignite Spiritual Leadership Development.  Ignite is a program designed to train and develop married Christian couples currently attending and leading in Converge MidAmerica churches who share the vision of reaching out to the unchurched Latino population.  Although the Latino population is the fastest growing population in the United States, it is the least represented in the church today.

Are You Planning a Growth Thrust This Fall?

Submitted by katie.nelson on Tuesday, Jul 1 @ 5:32pm

By Gary Rohrmayer

Do you believe that God wants to reach your community through your church?

The real disturbance was not around the expected dismissals of the Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman and their General Manager Phil Emery, but when Bears chairman George McCaskey shared his mother’s feelings about the team’s performance this year.  The 91 year old team owner Virginia McCaskey (the...
