We renamed and got clarity for helping churches “go beyond survival”. We’re now positioned to do enhanced work for years to come!
"Be Known for Something took the time to understand not only our passions but also the people God has called us to reach. Their insights, thread, and strategy that followed have been profoundly helpful to our church."
