Workshops – Session # 1:
Humanity of Christ: Led by Dann Spader
B12 Revolution: Led by Carrie Kraus
Loudest Voice: Led by the Waypoint Group. We help churches in crisis. So if things are going really well in your church, please don’t come.
TIU South FL Next Gen Training: Led by Scott McClelland
Tips toward Intergenerational Ministry: Led by Chris Holck. Intergenerational Health: Removing Silos in the Church.
There is a difference between a multi-generational church where there are 4
or 5 generations under the same church roof at the same time and an
inter-generational church where those generations actually know each other
and build into each others’ lives. The church can easily compartmentalize by
age group and subsequently miss out on the relational and spiritual health
that comes from a church where people of different ages know and respect
each other. Practical ideas will be shared about how to accomplish
intergenerational health.
Workshops – Session #2:
Strengthening the Soul of the Leader: Led by John Herman & Ed Kaylor.
Stucturing Your Church for Disciplemaking: Led by Bruce Redmond.
Developing a Church Planting Vision
B12 Revolution: Led by Carrie Kraus
TIU South FL Next Gen Training: Led by Scott McClelland.
An Intro to the Sexuality Discussion: Led by David Park. How should Christians think and talk about the matter of sexuality? What does the Bible say about sexuality? Come, let us reason together and search the Word to understand how to engage this issue in our churches and communities.
Samaritan Way Principals: Led by Ruth Arnold
