YOU WILL

KNOW IT

WHEN YOU

FEEL IT.

Make “All In” Your Mission for 2025.

What if your gathering space became a center of belonging and celebration? What if your organization reflected the diversity of your surrounding community? Then you could emerge as a force of hope that your neighborhood desperately needs.

Signs of NOT being ‘all’ in.

The struggle is real: Churches are in survival mode because leaders don’t know how to reach and rally the surrounding community. This can make us all feel like we’re losing ground, like we’re drifting apart, and as if the gospel isn’t good enough news to bring us together.

Are these problems familiar to you?

Ineffective outreach efforts

Declining church attendance

Lack of experience in diverse contexts

‘ALL’ means richer relationships.

It’s challenging to practice ‘wide ministry’ – to reach people different than you – and build ‘deep community’ among diverse groups, which is why we equip you with skills to cultivate new and richer relationships.

MATURE BELIEVERS

UNITY IN THE FAITH

FULLNESS IN CHRIST

Make room for all at the table.

“All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had…And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them.” - Acts 4:32-35 ESV

Daynette Snead Perez, DMin

“Communities thrive when leaders are equipped with ‘Stranger to Neighbor Ministry®’ relational skills. We will give your people the tools to cultivate an ‘all in,’ vibrant kingdom community.”

—Dr. Daynette Snead Perez

  • Randy M., Senior Pastor

    “As the pastor, I was excited about the opportunity for the participants from my church as well as a little anxious about how it would be received. Daynette did a phenomenal job at presenting the subject matter in engaging ways and gently guiding us through some difficult topics for discussion. As a participant, the weekend led me to become more intentional in my interactions with "strangers" and set some goals for personal growth.”

  • Mary W., College Minister

    “It was engaging and interactive but mostly illuminating on the need to be proactive as to who I spend my time and life with.”

  • Chris D., Senior Pastor

    “My experience with Stranger to Neighbor ministry excites me about ministry and developing a culture of inclusiveness while simultaneously affirming the Loving Beyond component of FBC Monroe's vision/mission statement. I'm traveling this journey with key leadership in my church family and they seem excited about the possibilities.”

  • Lay Leader

    “Excellent presentation and content. Loved how it is biblically based, and utilizes ‘wisdom in the room.’”

  • Cohort Participant

    “The session was so informative. I feel confident that I can go out and start a conversation with someone who doesn't look like me!”

  • Pastoral Leader

    “Among so many things, this experience highlighted many issues I had not thought about such as going outside the church doors to bring people into our fellowship, rather than waiting for them to come to us. While I have considered providing programs/ministries for the community, the book and the time on Saturday made me realize we as a church must ask what the community needs/would like to have available to them...’ask the right questions.’”
