The central theme of this workshop is a healthy church must grow older and younger at the same time. Many churches either grow older or grow younger-but to do both well requires intentional pastoral leadership.
The goal of this workshop is to help the preacher bring narrative passages of the bible “to life” for his audience. The ability to preach a narrative sermon is both a skill and an art form. In this workshop we will highlight and discuss the key elements to a successful narrative sermon; which include the Verbal, the Visual & the Virtual (imagination). We will be talking about the different stages a church planter goes through before becoming an established church.
Crossing 200 in weekly attendance has traditionally been difficult for churches to achieve and maintain. Veteran pastor Aaron Allison offers ideas and principles to help churches function as mid-size congregations and impact more people for Christ.
Many of today’s churches are struggling to inspire the next generation leaders. The lack of young people to lead could be because of there are none to be found or the established leadership is stagnated in being able to develop the young people who are indeed present. This workshop will discuss the importance of envisioning the Next Generation leading and will also provide practical insights about how to engage,
develop and empower them.

Michelle Albrecht will share her journey though 3 bouts of cancer and point women toward finding God’s purposes amid their own disappointments. She will provide a safe place for women to share challenges, finding strength from the Lord and each other in community. It is Michelle’s prayer that women will walk away from this session with practical steps to move forward with courage and to walk alongside others in trial as well.
