Dino Rizzo, the executive director of ARC (Association of Related Churches), served as the Guest Editor of this Special Edition of Avail Journal. He wrote an introductory article explaining the organization, where it came from, and where it’s going.
Among the many insights, Rizzo shares are three takeaways that have set up the organization for success and values other networks and movements can adopt for sustainability and effectiveness. As he writes:
“It really is about relationships … It’s about a big field and not a little pasture … It’s about creating a resource-rich environment from church planters.”
