Welcome to the Church Administrator’s Network (CAN). The Network is dedicated to providing opportunities for learning, sharing, and camaraderie among those responsible for the administrative aspects of being church. Join our online conversation by emailing scott@crestview-church.org and request to be added to the Group.  We'd love to have you!

We will gather again in Dallas on Sunday evening, May 9th, 2010, at the Highland Oaks Church of Christ, 10805 Walnut Hill Lane, 75238.  This year's Forum format shifts signicantly from past years.  We start Sunday night instead of Monday morning.  We have asked Randy Harris to headline our time together, and we'll do breakout sessions on Monday and Tuesday.  We're asking several from our own group to guide learning and discussion in several different areas.  Agenda details can be found below the "Register" button on this page.
