In this breakout session, we will explore a set of key principles and core practices that are essential for a healthy church ministry and an effective church mission. 

Making disciples does not have to be difficult, but it must be intentional. Join us for an exploration of Mark 6 and walk away with practical steps to make your disciple-making efforts more intentional. 

More than 4 in 10 clergy surveyed in Fall 2023 seriously considered leaving their congregation, and half felt they needed to leave the ministry (LifeWay) for reasons ranging from church conflict, expectations to perform, health issues, family struggles, despair, burnout—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. What can we do? Join us as we examine the ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) to discover a model for compassion, care, and continuing in ministry.

Prayer is an integral part of any ministry—ministry in the church and ministry designed to reach non-believers. Learn practical, intentional ways you can incorporate prayer into your interactions with volunteers and ministry recipients. Watch as God transforms normal into eternity-impacting.

When healthy churches equip and train their people to do the work of ministry, the ministry of the church multiplies. Explore ways that your church can strategically equip and organize its people to grow as the body of Christ.
