What would you do? We kick off this season of NextGen Conversations by role-playing this scenario with Ministry Architects\u2019 Stephanie Caro. About Stephanie Caro Stephanie Caro has been involved in ministry to children, youth and adults in the local church (both large and small) since \u2026 a long time ago. Her humorous, straightforward style keeps her busy presenting and coaching at conferences, training events, camps, mission trips, retreats, churches, etc. She is a Veteran Lead Consultant (since 2008!) and Small Church Specialist, drawing on her years of experience to help churches assess, vision and formulate their ministry game plans.
