TUESDAY, 7 MARCH
Transformation through Culture
In this session, Chris Dickons will explore how to generate a culture that not only tolerates change but embraces it as a necessary element of being faithful to the mission of the church.
Transformation through Conflict
Many of us avoid conflict if at all possible. However, a level of conflict is desirable, and even essential, if a church is going to be transformed. Ed Vaughan will lead this session to unpack how to harness conflict and lead through it for gospel transformation.
Leadership & Idolatry
Australian Author, Sen Sendjaya, provocatively stated, “Leaders are merely sinners with glorified titles.” How do those who lead address not only the common issues of sin and temptation, but also those specific to the task of leadership?
Renewing Spiritually
Wednesday, 8 MARCH
How People Change
As those who have “put on Christ”, we are being called to personal transformation into his image. For those who lead the church, we have been called to lead others on this journey. How can we do this in a manner that is biblically faithful and so deeply transformational?
Transformation through Vision
How you can generate transformation through a compelling vision, which not only presents a captivating idea of what could be, but also generates practical next steps.
Transformation through Mission
Julie-Anne Laird will explore how to lead a church into a missional mindset, having a grace-motivated desire to reach into the community with the message of salvation through Christ.
Transformation through Movement
Andrew Katay will help participants engage with the fact that churches are “better together”. As we share in gospel ministry with other likeminded churches, we will see transformation both within the church as well as in the community.
