    Join us this week for a conversation with Sean McCoskey, Pastor of House Church & Connection for Central Community Church where we reminisce about times we've been in community together, the importance and some challenges of community and ministry leadership in the church, as well as the spaces in which God has convicted and grown us when ministry and community seasons shift.
