The Pivot Series was instrumental in helping us all to embrace the changes that came along with the shifts in our environment and normal routines due to the growing pandemic. During the series, Pastor Conway taught on Re-imagining the Church, Breaking the Huddle, God’s Promises to us for an Abundant Life, and Working our Faith. By adapting the principles taught in this series we have been able to master the art of continuing to serve God and share the Gospel while in a virtual setting.
