SESSIONS

PRE-CONFERENCE: Don't Plant Alone — Hosted by C&MA
Church planting is a noble and exhilarating calling! It is also a calling that becomes dangerous to you and those around you if you try to go at it alone. Church planting should only be done in intimacy with God’s Spirit, in intentional and specific relationships with others, and in innovative collaboration with a broader network. The temptation is to be a maverick, a pioneer, a lone ranger. While there is something good in that heart, you were never meant to take the hill alone! Don’t. Plant. Alone.
