SESSIONS

PRE-CONFERENCE: Together: Pursuing the Great Collaboration – Hosted by NewThing Network
We understand the great commission; and we believe in the great commandment; but we have forgotten Jesus' challenge of the great collaboration in John 17 that we are to do the mission "Together!" Jesus offers us a vision of a "Together" church that prioritizes relationships (with God, family, team and network) as the way to be and do God's mission. This includes an in-depth look at the value of participating in a church planting network and how to start a small church planting network. Full details for this pre-con here.

MAIN SESSION 4: Together – Not Like You
What Unites Us?: We are the body of Christ — diverse in gifting, diverse in our contexts and diverse in service — but we are united by our commitment to the Lordship of Christ and His mission. When we collaborate and work together, we become a fuller expression of the body of Christ better able to accomplish the Jesus mission. How Big Is Your Circle?: The vision of the church as the body of Christ does not pertain only to one local church. The body of Christ is made up of many churches, and each part of Christ's body has something unique to offer the rest. When we open ourselves up to learn from one another and work together in unity, we are truly better together.
Time: Wednesday, 4:00 – 5:30pm
