Women/Counseling
Articulating Submission to Hurting Sisters in Christ

Assimilation
Helping Newcomers Move from “Guests” to “Members”
Chuck Williams

Helping new guests in our churches shouldn’t be a “cross-your-fingers-hope-they-come-back” approach, nor a cold, impersonal process. In this session, we’ll learn four essential steps you can take toward connecting the people God brings as guests in your church to belonging as members.

 

Family
Empowering Parents to Disciple Kids
Colin Matoon 

Many parents struggle to disciple their kids. In this session, parents will learn to use strategies and tools to more effectively disciple preschool and elementary-aged children. Just as important, these strategies and tools are also designed to help parents get excited, confident, and joyful about discipling their kids.

 

Personal Evangelism
A Simple (but Profound) Gospel Presentation
Dr. Joe Taylor

With the imminent return of Christ at hand, sharing the gospel is as important as ever. This breakout session will prepare you for the “divine appointments” God will send your way with a simple presentation that is easy to learn and simple to adapt to many different situations.

 

Worship/Tech
Navigating Your Church’s Mission in Media

This class will discuss the ways to effectively use the art of media without distracting your teams from the main mission! Learn strategies in leadership development that will help answer the ‘why’ for your teams in media and worship.

 

Leadership
5 Keys to Building Ministry Leaders
Chip Riggs

We build stuff in churches–ministries, gatherings, buildings, and budgets. But are we building people too? Churches are full of people gifted by God to grow your ministry, but you must see them and develop them. In this session, we will discover keys to unlocking leadership growth in ministry.

 

Apologetics
Ministering to Mormons
Bruno Molina 

This workshop will equip you to engage Mormons with the gospel by strategically and respectfully contrasting their beliefs with the Bible, asking clarifying questions, and sharing the gospel.

 

Prayer
Pray Better: Taking the Pressure Off Praying
Marty Williams

We often hear that we should pray more, and while this may be true, that mentality can bring a lot of pressure and guilt. What if instead of praying more we prayed better? In this session, we will talk about how God can move in your life as you develop a personal prayer liturgy made up of strong, biblical prayers.
