There are many unexpected and challenging situations and opportunities that senior leaders will face as they navigate today’s sex and gender environment. Before It Begins has experience navigating these waters and we are available to help.

Update About the The Regional Leadership Team
We’re excited to welcome Wim Codington to our team. Wim has agreed to serve a 90-day trial role as the secretary/treasurer to see if it is a long term fit for the team.
Wim will be important to us as we move toward a balanced budget in the region while maintaining an outward focused disciple-making mission. His experience as a CPA with Earnst and Young (one of the world’s most respected Accounting firms) along with his deep passion for submitting to God and making disciples will be the gifts that he brings to the table to help us continue to build a firm foundation for future growth and stability in the Connect Region.

Wim is married to Libby and lives in Nashville, TN with their 4 children Carrie (15), Wim (13). Seth (11), and Vera (8).
Welcome to the team, Wim! We are thankful that the Lord sent you to us during this season of stabilizing the region.

- Connect Carolinas
- Connect Florida
- Connect Georgia/Alabama

We hope this helps us to feel more aligned in our mission to multiple disciples.
