How can we provide opportunities for younger generations to learn wisdom and enduring faith from those older than them and for older Christians to be strengthened, energized, and enriched by those who are younger? There are great benefits to our stage-of-life models for disciple-making. Yet we want to explore ways to enrich our disciple-making with conversations and experiences across generations. In this seminar, an intergenerational panel will share insights and personal experiences for how disciple-making congregations can engage, encourage, learn from, and care for one another.

We have a rich history of mission and ministry in the CLB. However, the culture and context into which God has called us to make disciples is changing rapidly. How can we, as the CLB, better love and minister to unchurched people in our communities? How can we care for and engage in compassionate conversations with people we might not understand? How do we, for the sake of the Gospel, move beyond our own cultural comfort zones to become “salt and light” to the spiritually lost people all around us? Come explore how we can navigate the change from our churches being the center of life in our communities to being mission outposts, and how we keep that mission mindset in our current cultural and political climate.

A Biblical and historical perspective on the place, purpose, and value of holistic ministry (ministering to the whole person) in the Great Commission.

This seminar will explore how families can grow together as part of God’s mission.

As you plan worship services, what criteria do you use to choose what your congregation sings? With so many options available, it can be a daunting task. How can pastors, elders, worship leaders, and musicians help steer their congregations toward meaningful and Biblical worship services?
