Dr. Paul Hill – Change or Die Conference 2013
Vibrant Faith Ministries was honored this Spring by the Siebert Lutheran Foundation of Milwaukee, as an example of an organization that has made major changes in order to better serve it’s mission. Representing the whole organization, director Paul Hill, keynoted at the “Change or Die Conference” sponsored by Siebert. Church leaders from across the country came to be informed and inspired to change so as not to die.
GJ - Vibrant Faith was founded by Merton Strommen, ELCA, so it is safe to assume that the parachurch group is ELCAish, but that also include LCMS clergy as happy campers.
