Send Columbus Chad Grigsby and Jason Phillips

In part 2 of our conversation with Dwight and Luke, we continue our deep dive into their team's communication lab. We talk about the importance of the 5 C's of communication and how leaning on a team can make a good communicator, great.

Dwight and Luke Peterson are not only co-laborers in a church plant but also Father and Son. In this episode, they discuss their call to Columbus and OSU as well as their strategy for communication. Developing their church planting team through a "Communication Lab" that helps create better on stage communication has become a key part of their team culture.

Few things are more important in a church plant than the preaching and teaching of the Bible. But what place should communication have in our churches and in our leadership? What should I do to continue to grow as a communicator? What tools and resources should I consider as I become a weekly preacher? We hope to answer these questions and more in our new series on Communication and Church Planting!

Isaac is the Planter and Pastor of Chroma Church in Dublin, OH. Isaac and his wife Hannah planted in the spring of 2020. Just days before Chroma's first preview service, the Covid shutdown took effect. Despite all the planning and prep work, the church couldn't meet in person. After almost a year of online ministry they have now launched in person meetings and are reaching people despite the challenges they have faced.
