Mac Lake.

Every church planter needs leaders in order to get a good healthy start to their plant. But how do you take ordinary leaders and turn them into multiplying leaders? In this session, Mac Lake shares practical steps you can take from day one of your pre-launch leadership meetings to help you build a culture of leadership development in your church plant.

God is at work in North America. He is at work in the hearts of those who know Him and those who have yet to know Him through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The goal of God's Plan for Sharing (GPS) is to fulfill the Great Commission by every believer sharing and every person hearing the gospel. Learn in this course how to be released into effective evangelism by using a simple approach to witnessing. Believers aren't required to be great orators or theologians—they only need to know how to tell others about the difference that faith in Jesus is making in their lives ... to tell their story!

Wives have tremendous influence in their husbands' lives. A ministry wife has the capacity to influence her husband's soul and his ministry to help advance the kingdom of God. Kathy identifies five ways to create positive influence and five things to avoid that create negative influence.

The key to revitalization is the passionate display of the glory of God, not a focus on results, numbers, strategies, worship styles or tactics. Discover how it is possible to go beyond revitalizing your church to replanting your church. “Legacy Church planting” is replanting your church upon its past legacy of missions and evangelism. Included are specific examples from “Legacy Church Plants” that have grown from less than 20 to 200 while planting new churches and working to serve their communities. Learn powerful, transforming and transferable truths that you can apply to your context.

Funding is the biggest challenge of church planting in urban areas. Many church planters can raise money to get started; very few are succeeding in creating sustainable growth. Bivocational church planters create margin and lengthen the horizon for a new church to attain sustainability.

Jeff Christopherson.

One of the evangelical world's greatest areas of both interest and confusion is found in the biblical theme of the kingdom of God. In an era of denominational decline and even hostile skepticism toward "organized religion," believers are trying to reconcile Jesus' kingdom concepts with what they have experienced in "church." As a result, much deconstruction of the church has taken place with little attention given to what might replace it. This workshop is about the question of how the church properly fits into the larger picture of God's activity—and how to design a church for the kingdom of God.

J.D. Greear.

It is possible to create an effective sending culture in your church. In this session, J. D. Greear discusses the core values and principles, called "plumblines," that create the sending culture in the local church. These plumblines are gospel and missional theology made practical.

Geoff Surratt.

The dirty little secret of leadership development classes is that they don't work; classes produce students, not leaders. This workshop looks at the 10 things Jesus did that will develop leaders, and will help you apply them to your context. (Hint: Jesus never taught a seminary class, never had a sign-up sheet and never provided coffee and donuts.)
