February 22, 2018 ~ revriegerix ~ Leave a comment

Welcome!

Growing Rural Ministries is a resource for congregations who are seeking to reach new generations in their area for Jesus Christ. Check out the blog posts on the home page, find Rev. Meghan’s Bio on the about page, recommended resources on the resources page, other services available on the services page, or get in touch with her directly on the contact page.

Testimonials: "From the moment we met, I believe Meghan and I had a very special and blessed connection. Meghan was paired with me, a newbie to the MLI (Ministry Leadership Initiative) program, as a coach to help guide me through issues and challenges I face as a children's ministry director of a medium sized church in a small town. Meghan has not only been my coach, she has been a true friend. Her ability to listen attentively, sift through, sort out and simplify the issue at hand is an incredible gift and she does it with amazing discernment, wisdom, compassion and encouragement. Meghan is an "old soul" who seeks to understand and support in every aspect of my life and ministry, I am extremely blessed to have her in my life." -Dawn Gabauer
