Milestone Conference Reports

As part of the INSPIRE Milestone Conference project, a great deal of research was directed toward the creation of several reports that were presented and discussed by conference participants. The reports are useful tools in our contemporary church environment that will help to inform ministry and policy for years to come. The reports are presented here in their entirety for download.
