Session 1
Realising your entrepreneurial gift in loving your neighbour Roy Crown
How can entrepreneurial gifts be used as a calling to love your neighbour. Roy will explore how churches across the country have seen real transformation take place in their streets, villages, and towns through the simple yet powerful act of loving their neighbour. Every church, regardless of size or location, has the capacity to become a catalyst for change. Intentional love, creativity and obedience can bring lasting transformation in Jesus' name. He will highlight practical examples from a variety of spaces and places, drawing on entrepreneurial gifts to identify needs, mobilise people, and position the local church at the very heart of it's community.
Faith Talk Andy Twilley
How can we talk naturally about our faith? How can we bring faith easily into conversations? What should we say? This topic may sound scary yet in this seminar we will explore how it need not be so, and that in different ways we can share the good news of God’s love.
The Great Commission in the digital age Charlotte Nall
This seminar will help to equip believers to begin using social media to share the gospel effectively. This practical introduction will explore simple strategies, platforms, and tools to help you communicate faith online with confidence, engage new audiences, and extend Christ’s message beyond traditional boundaries.
Open the Book Suzanne Hammond
Open the Book is an exciting storytelling model where Bible stories are shared with children in a way that is fun, interactive and memorable. Storytelling teams use the Open the Book programme to prepare and present a 10 -15 minute scripted Bible story to a school assembly or class, involving the children in a very effective and engaging way.
Session 2
Leading in Mission Joth Hunt
What is missional leadership? What might good missional leadership look like? How might we be effectively lead a church through transformation from being maintenance focused to becoming missionally effective? What challenges might we encounter? This seminar is for anyone who has a leadership responsibility for mission within their church.
What is the Church of the Mission? Steve Rouse
There is a generation looking for a compelling community to be a part of and a convincing purpose to live for. How do we help our churches get ready for the mission that God has for us in the every day places and spaces we find ourselves in this moment. How do we develop a culture within our churches that forms confident disciples who go out into their every day lives knowing that who they are, where they are and what they do matters to God?
Church Community Transformation Nicola Temple
The Church is called to bring light into the darkest of situations, walking with people in the community, welcoming people into a new life with Jesus, and seeing your church and local community thrive and flourish. The Church and Community Transformation process takes churches on a journey to discover what this call means for you. This session helps you begin to look at ways in which those ideas and principles might enable your church to be salt and light in your community.
Raising Alpha in a Digital Eden Matt Levett
It's a new world out there. A new playground. A new Eden? Join Matt to dive into the world of Generation Alpha by looking at the lessons we have, or haven't learnt from their older brothers and sisters - Gen Z.
Gen A are the youngest & largest generation on the planet and soon they will be running our churches...that's if they stay long enough to care.
Come and discover insights into their world and gain some hints at curating faith in a filtered world. What does it really take to help our kids become Gen. Alpha: Digital disciples? To become the next wave of the Church, rather that a problem to be solved and a group to be quietened down.
