Who does your building belong to? What are our money stories, theological frameworks, and core values? How do you make strategic decisions out of abundance and hopefulness?

In today’s conversation, we hear from:

• Mieke Vandersall, founder of Vandersall Collective, and ministry member at PSNE
• Tim Anderson, coach and consultant from Minneapolis MN
• Nancy Baseel, Pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Hartford

Vandersall Collective is a consulting group that focuses on fundraising, communications, and strategic thinking to raise money, reach people, and reimagine the future. They are collaborating with three congregations in our Presbytery (First Presbyterian Hartford, Westminster, and MLK Community Presbyterian Church), alongside with our Trustees, Roundtable, and Commission on Ministry. Vandersall Collective is helping us to answer questions about property and missional views, to help us find clarity at both the congregational and Presbytery level for values-based decision making.

Connecting our Conversations is hosted by the Presbytery of Southern New England, a regional governing body in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This is our space for conversations that push the edges of our faith and help us deepen discipleship.
