New Life Conferences

'Liturgy' means, quite simply, 'the work of the people'; it's what we do when we get together. While much of our attention on a Sunday goes to the preaching and the worship, the truth is ALL our communal 'rituals'- from the parking lot to the lobby to the pew and to the altar- shape who we are. So, the only question that remains is, 'HOW (not 'IF') our rituals are shaping us? What kind of people are we becoming because of our corporate 'rituals'- even the ones we aren't aware of?

Cory and Caleb will talk about the main principles of prophetic worship and how to implement spontaneous moments into your worship services.

'Culture' is a word that gets thrown around a lot. But what is it? How do we 'create' it as leaders? What are the signs that it is taking root? How do we cultivate it as it takes root? Is there a way to change a church's culture? Church planter Aaron Stern and New Life Downtown pastor Glenn Packiam will lead a story-filled, lively session about these questions and more.
