Moving from Leadership to Ownership: Creating a Student-Owned Ministry

Student leadership is one thing; student ownership is something different. This seminar will discuss some practical ways to move from merely having students involved, to having students owning a ministry. We'll talk about what structural, philosophical, and practical systems need to be in place to move students to a high level of ownership. This seminar will be a great place to do some thinking and dreaming of what could and should be.

When the City Comes to the Suburbs: The Blurred Line in a New Generation

There was a time when there existed a definitive "other side of the tracks.” However, a new era has dawned where boundaries of city and suburbs are blurred. Urban culture and city "issues” now seem to be showing up in many venues. This workshop will discuss these issues along with practical ways to effectively minister to and with the city community. This workshop would also be appropriate for those in the city working alongside those in the suburbs.

A Theology of Creativity

If God is the ultimate Creator, why are the people of God so often stuck in boxes that limit that creative power? Why does a Christian subculture exist that often lags behind the rest of culture, picking up crumbs of creativity and marketing, in order to slap the name of Jesus on them? In this workshop, Michael leads a thoughtful discussion about this issue and offers ideas about how and why our theology should actually drive us to be fearlessly creative rather than simply ‘positive' or ‘safe'.

Empowering the Church in an Age of Entitlement

You want to empower the church to be the body of Christ. This workshop is your invitation to discover and explore tangible ways to navigate transformation in the church with all of this in mind, while honoring you and your context.
