PRE-CONFERENCE: 5 Critical Moves for a Spirit-Empowered Culture — Hosted by Dandelion Resourcing
Everyone is rethinking how church will operate post-pandemic. We all want to be shaped both by Scripture and by the Spirit, yet many of us have few models of both operating in healthy harmony. What would it look like to be a disciple-making church that is fully operating in the gifts and empowering of the Spirit? This is the church that Jesus longs for and the Bible describes - so why couldn’t this happen in YOUR local context? At this pre-conference you will be walked through 5 essential decisions that will help you develop a sustainable and multipliable Spirit-empowered community. You will be given sound Biblical underpinnings, numerous field-tested strategies, and countless practical tips from our almost 3 decades of ministry. Full details for this pre-con here.
