RAISING A CULTURE IMPACT TEAM
Gina Gleason, Culture Impact Team Leader*; Pastor Jack Hibbs, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, Chino Hills, CA*
Feeling a little overwhelmed by all the inspiration and information of the Briefing and wondering how you are going to implement some of what you heard into the life of your church? Need some people you can delegate this area of ministry? Then consider putting together a Culture Impact Team in your church. You have passionate people who are ready to serve. We have the tools and the training in this breakout.
TRANSFORMING YOUR CHURCH INTO A HOUSE OF PRAYER
Rev. Douglas Small, President, Alive Ministries/Project Pray*
How can we be more strategic about the ministry of prayer in our church? Are there some action steps that can make an immediate and positive impact? Prayer is something we talk about a lot but do very little, yet this is the difference-maker. When we work, we get what we can do, but when we pray, we get what God can do. This breakout will offer some practical ideas toward transforming your church into a powerful House of Prayer.
RAISING UP A NEW GENERATION OF PUBLIC SERVANTS
Pastor Bob Emrich, Pastor, Emmanuel Bible Church, Plymouth, ME and Executive Committee, Protect Marriage Maine*
Tired of having to choose between the lesser of two evils at the ballot box? Why not challenge your church members to consider public service as a ministry? God may have someone in your congregation who needs a sense of permission and encouragement and training. This breakout will get you started.
DEVELOPING SERMONS ON MORAL ISSUES
Dr. Jim Garlow, Senior Pastor, Skyline Church, La Mesa, CA*
Puzzled about where to start when it comes to message preparation to speak on the burning moral issues debated in public arena? The Scriptures contain principles that address every dilemma we face in contemporary culture, but “rightly dividing the Word of Truth” can be a challenge. This breakout will offer a battle plan for how to approach this necessary task.
3:30 – 4:30 p.m.BREAKOUT SESSIONS
RAISING A CULTURE IMPACT TEAM
Gina Gleason, Culture Impact Team Leader*; Pastor Jack Hibbs, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, Chino Hills, CA*
Feeling a little overwhelmed by all the inspiration and information of the Briefing and wondering how you are going to implement some of what you heard into the life of your church? Need some people you can delegate this area of ministry? Then consider putting together a Culture Impact Team in your church. You have passionate people who are ready to serve. We have the tools and the training in this breakout.
INTRODUCING THIS AREA OF MINISTRY WITHOUT GETTING FIRED
Dr. Ron Johnson, Senior Pastor, Living Stones Churches, Crown Point, IN *
How do we launch out into the areas of engaging culture and government without splitting our church or getting fired? It takes much prayer, tact, and wisdom to move your congregation into a new direction. This breakout will offer some practical and seasoned advice for how to move forward and keep your church together.
MINISTERING TO PUBLIC SERVANTS
Pastor Bob Emrich, Pastor, Emmanuel Bible Church, Plymouth, ME and Executive Committee, Protect Marriage Maine*
Tired of complaining about the people who represent you and want to see a difference? There is nothing more disarming than the offer to serve and pray. It could open some doors for dialogue and could lead to positive change. This breakout will offer some strategic advice as to how to get started.
PARTNERING WITH PASTORS FROM OTHER DENOMINATIONS
Dr. Jim Garlow, Senior Pastor, Skyline Church, La Mesa, CA*
Concerned about how to approach ministers who represent a different doctrinal approach? We don’t ask pastors to check their beliefs at the door. By all means, we encourage you to maintain those distinctives. However, there are some basic values we all believe in, cherish, and are willing to fight for – like life, marriage and religious liberty. The breakout will help with bridging the gap with other ministers in your community.
