Breakout Sessions
Filling Our Discipleship Gaps: Pursuing the One While Pastoring the Ninety-Nine
In Ephesians 4, we are called to equip the saints for ministry, helping to build up the body of Christ until we all reach maturity. As leaders, we often measure success by the number of followers, but what intentional steps can we take to ensure we are shepherding everyone—especially those who may be drifting, neglected, or overlooked?

Five Questions for Church Renewal
We will explore five questions that church leaders should consider when thinking about church renewal. We invite you to engage in the conversation by sharing how you are addressing these questions in your ministry context.

Pastoral Multiplicity
How shifting from a culture of pastoral singularity, to a culture of pastoral multiplicity can be a powerful catalyst for church renewal.
Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Could this be why many church leaders experience frustration as they preach and teach Jesus’ multiplication strategy but rarely experience the fruitful reproduction of disciples? Examine how a culture of pastoral singularity could be suffocating Jesus’ strategy for reaching your community with His glory. Explore incremental and realistic adjustments you can make to your leadership style, regardless of the size or context of your church, that reintroduce the presence and power of God back into His church.
