UU Growth Lab Update - Live Events, On-Demand Training, and Resources

Upcoming Lab Live Events

March 25th at 1:00PM Eastern Time
Deepening Newcomer Engagement and Membership 

This session will focus on strategies for engaging people once they connect with your congregation. In January our training cycle focused on digital strategies to help people "pre-qualify" themselves for membership. This session addresses what happens next — how can we support newcomers on their journey toward deeper engagement and membership?
