Hopefully you know by now that the Church Marketing Lab is a great place to get feedback from your peers on your work. Did you know, however, that there are also a group of people who are experienced design professionals who care about you in the Lab on a daily basis? We call them our community leaders and they are there to give you feedback, answer your questions, and engage with you. I’d like to take a moment today to introduce them to you:
