BTW Talk:
Leading with Surrender. Endless strategies for evangelism, countless curriculums for growth, and an ever-changing view on culture’s readiness for church can distract us from where ministry really begins, the one vital place where all ministry has to start. It begs the question, is laying it all down the place where it really all begins? Surrender may be the first step to any step with Jesus. For those who lead in ministry, and for those who are recipients of it, surrender just may be the tipping point for it all. Through personal experience and Biblical example, Sarah will invite us to make this vital step a constant focus.
WORKSHOP:
The Power of Letting Them Lead. For generations, ministries have struggled to connect with emerging generations. Add in the ever-increasing reality of unbelieving and non-churched people, and the church faces a crisis of hand-off. Where are young adults? And who will lead the church when current leadership runs out of steam? Come learn the unexpected strategy for intentionally developing young people as disciples and leaders
