Applications Are In: Virtual Front Porch Update #1
During our launch week in February, we received way more responses than I anticipated! Churches from across the PCC submitted their names or reached out by email (many sharing personal stories from their congregational contexts and excitement about what the project would mean for them).
After that initial interest stage, we released the full application - 35+ questions that required reflection and asked leaders to think carefully about leadership structure, decision-making processes, time capacity, ministry focus, and motivation.
It was not for the faint of heart!
Even so, many churches engaged with it seriously.
