Tricia Lovejoy. Tricia Lovejoy has seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows when it comes to being the wife of a driven church planter. Throughout her 17 years in ministry (12 in church planting), she has gained valuable insight into helping other pastors' wives navigate the exciting, intense and challenging journey of church planting. Join her as she shares six of the best practices she embraces to survive and thrive in family and ministry.

Mike McDaniel. The reason most churches don’t multiply is because they see church planting as a program instead of a culture. Church planting is not something you put on a “to do” list. It’s a culture you build in your church. When you create the culture, church planting becomes the natural fruit.

John Mark Clifton. The key to revitalization is the passionate display of the glory of God, not a focus on results, numbers, strategies, worship styles or tactics. Discover how it is possible to go beyond revitalizing your church to replanting your church. “Legacy Church planting” is replanting your church upon its past legacy of missions and evangelism. Included are specific examples from “Legacy Church Plants” that have grown from less than 20 to 200 while planting new churches and working to serve their communities. Learn powerful, transforming and transferable truths that you can apply to your context.

Kathy Litton. Wives have tremendous influence in their husbands' lives. A ministry wife has the capacity to influence her husband's soul and his ministry to help advance the kingdom of God. Kathy identifies five ways to create positive influence and five things to avoid that create negative influence.

Ken Ellis. God is at work in North America. He is at work in the hearts of those who know Him and those who have yet to know Him through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The goal of God's Plan for Sharing (GPS) is to fulfill the Great Commission by every believer sharing and every person hearing the gospel. Learn in this course how to be released into effective evangelism by using a simple approach to witnessing. Believers aren't required to be great orators or theologians—they only need to know how to tell others about the difference that faith in Jesus is making in their lives ... to tell their story!

Mac Lake. Every church planter needs leaders in order to get a good healthy start to their plant. But how do you take ordinary leaders and turn them into multiplying leaders? In this session, Mac Lake shares practical steps you can take from day one of your pre-launch leadership meetings to help you build a culture of leadership development in your church plant.

Mary Jo Sharp. Living in a society with many different views about God, why should anyone pick one view over another? This session makes a case for the Christian faith as the view that reasonably addresses the problem of evil.

Steve Kersh. The North American Mission Board in partnership with CoachNet International is investing significantly in the development of skilled and qualified coaches who have a heart and passion for walking alongside others in their ministry. NAMB's Next Level Leadership team has worked to develop a coaching process that focuses on the skills and competencies necessary to become an effective coach as well as helping develop strategies for creating coaching networks. This workshop introduces the different options available through NAMB as you explore the value of coaching within your ministry.

Jeff Christopherson. One of the evangelical world's greatest areas of both interest and confusion is found in the biblical theme of the kingdom of God. In an era of denominational decline and even hostile skepticism toward "organized religion," believers are trying to reconcile Jesus' kingdom concepts with what they have experienced in "church." As a result, much deconstruction of the church has taken place with little attention given to what might replace it. This workshop is about the question of how the church properly fits into the larger picture of God's activity—and how to design a church for the kingdom of God.

Stuart Hodges. If your church is currently stuck numerically, you've likely hit a growth barrier. If you're moving forward numerically, chances are you're about to hit a growth barrier.

Join Stu Hodges, founder and lead pastor of Waters Edge Church, for a practical look at Breaking Through Growth Barrier. ... what works and what doesn't!
