SESSIONS
Workshop Session 1: Building a Culture of Formation in Your Church
How do we transform the crisis of discipleship facing the Western church into an opportunity for rearchitecting our churches around formation and discipleship? In this session we will explore the journey of moving spiritual formation from the periphery to the center of our church's culture.
Time: Tuesday, 2:30 – 3:30pm
Location: Kids 2 - Room 220
Speakers: Brandon Shields
Workshop Session 2: How People Change: Unintentional Formation
If the church is going to be a place where people experience deep transformation, we as leaders need a working theory of change. In this two-part session we will unpack a framework for change that has been road-tested in the local church and brings together the best of biblical theology, church history, and the social sciences.
Time: Wednesday, 8:45 – 9:45am
Location: Kids 2 - Room 220
Speakers: John Mark Comer, Brandon Shields

Workshop Session 4: Creating a Rule of Life
The early church had two rules that guided their life and mission: A Rule of Faith that articulated a theological vision for life with Jesus and A Rule of Life that gave specific structure and direction for becoming like Jesus. In this session we'll look at the why, what, and how for recovering a Rule of Life for our cultural moment.
