Breakout Sessions to choose from:
1. Preschool – Does Your Teaching Connect?
Shouldn’t we teach preschoolers in the way God created them to learn? In this session, we’ll discover how to make your teaching connect with preschoolers and help them succeed as they learn.
2. Kids – 10 Attributes of an Unshakable Kids Ministry
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic turned ‘normal’ on its head. We need to re-evaluate our strategies in light of this changing not-so-normal normal. But we also need to be careful not to chase recklessly after every new idea that arises. We need to consciously purpose to build our ministries on unshakable ideas that will help them remain strong no matter what circumstance comes.
3. Students – How to Lead Student Ministry in A Screen Addicted and Apathetic Age
What are we to do for our students that are hyper-connected, anxious, bored, and isolated? Let’s discuss in this session the global trend of anxious apathy that is affecting our local teenagers and how the Church can help.
4. Adult Sunday School – Seeing Around Corners: What’s Next for Groups in a Post-COVID World?
We’re not in Kansas anymore! The pandemic has changed the world in some unique ways – and it has even had an effect on the church. Discover how group ministry may change as God’s people return, and how you can lead your group to continue making disciples in the days ahead. Some things will remain the same, and other things will change. Do you know what those things are? Will you and your group be ready? If you attend this fast-paced conference, you’ll know why people join groups, and why they leave them, and how your group can reach people in a post-pandemic world.
5. Adult Small Group – 5 Things Every Small Group Meeting Has to Have
In order for our small group meetings to be potentially life-changing for attendees, they have to include these critical five things. Leaving even one out could limit the effectiveness of your group.
