SESSIONS

PRE-CONFERENCE: Building a Killer Team Without Killing Yourself or Your Team — Hosted by Courage to Lead
One more leader won’t solve your problems. Seminary didn’t teach us this. Hiring people. Dealing with underperformers. Releasing people. Capacity issues. Chemistry issues. Character issues. Unity. Culture. Vision. Staff meetings. Leadership Development. A staff doesn’t make a team, but it can become one. When Jesus got ready to change the world, he built a great Team. If Jesus needed a great Team, do you think you might? You can’t do this without...a great team; a healthy team; and a highly competent and unified team. In this preconference we’ll show you how to build a killer team...without killing ourselves or our Team! Full list of speakers for this pre-con here.
Day / Time: Monday 1:00pm — 5:00pm and Tuesday 8:00am — 11:30am
Location: Faith Hall - Room 301A

Workshop Session 2: Building a Deeper Bench: Your Leadership Development Pathway
We are called to develop our Leaders. We don’t use people to get ministry done. We use ministry to get people done! Hope is not a strategy. We need a plan. Experience alone won’t make our team better, They need reps followed by consistent, honest feedback. We need a culture, system and process that allows us to develop our Team and help them grow. In this session, we’ll give you the plan, including a step by step Performance & Review process.
Time: Wednesday, 8:45am — 9:45am
Location: Kids 2 - Room 220
Speakers: Danny Anderson, Shawn Lovejoy

Workshop Session 4: Getting Momentum Back
We can’t presume on growth, We get prepared for growth. Healthy things grow. Church growth also requires both the supernatural power of God and great leadership. Most churches don’t grow incrementally. They grow exponentially! This is the pattern of the book of Acts. It’s either deep change or slow death! Join us as we talk about how your church can get momentum back...faster than you think, from pastors that are actually seeing new momentum happen in their churches.
Time: Thursday, 8:45am — 9:45am
Location: Kids 2 - Room 220
Speakers: Danny Anderson, Adam Bishop
