About the Event

Discover

the Five Ministry Myths that define most of our churches and how to begin living on the solution side of those myths.

 

Develop

missional strategy components that can help your leaders step where there is no footing.

 

Get your hands on

a mobilization presentation that will help your people want to move from being a volunteer to an everyday missionary.

 

Learn

how to collaborate around the right scorecard.

 

Embrace

an intentional 1 up and 3 down discipleship strategy that be ruthlessly slow while having a dramatic and scalable impact.

 

Hear

from people you know that are planning the work and working the plan and seeing results.

We will introduce Jeff Vanderstelt’s book One Eighty: A Return to Disciple Making and discuss the following:

 

  • FROM REACHING TO MAKING: From simply growing the size of our ministry or church, to making mature disciples.
  • FROM INFORMING TO EQUIPPING: From simply giving information, to holistically equipping every follower of Jesus.
  • FROM ATTENDING TO ATTACHING: From calling people to attend programs and events, to leading people to truly attach to God and others.
  • FROM STRIVING TO THRIVING: From unhealthy striving, to thriving as spirit-empowered disciples and emotionally healthy leaders.
  • FROM ACCUMULATING TO DEPLOYING: From merely accumulating people into our buildings and programs, to deploying disciple-making disciples to the ends of the earth.
