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 1: Building A Killer Team ... Without Killing Yourself or Your Team
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 killer team! In this workshop, we’ll teach you how to foster togetherness on your Team, have meetings that matter, assess your Team, get clearer with your expectations, bolster accountability, build an action oriented team, how to have “courageous conversations” with your Team, and do it all without killing yourself or your Team!
Time: Tuesday, 2:30pm — 3:30pm
Location: Kids 2 - Room 220

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
