Building Spaces That Inspire Ministry Impact

On this episode, we’re bringing together a dynamic conversation at the crossroads of ministry, architecture, and strategy. Hosted by Trent Dunham, this episode features three incredible guests who offer unique perspectives on designing and funding spaces to better serve communities and ministries. Erik Rogers, Chief Strategist for Donor Advancement at Dunham+Company, kicks off with insight into how ministries can elevate relationships with donors to fund transformational projects.
