Invitational Forum for Hispanic Megachurch Pastors Agenda Registration and Information October 12, 2010 8:30 am to 3:00 pm Location: Leadership Network – Dallas TX (see details below) Fellowship • Networking • Honest Sharing • Confidential Conversations • How can I lead my ministry to the next level? • What are the best practices for managing a growing staff? • How are we developing the next new generation of leaders for our church? • What practices in my church are working well to reach new people for Christ? • What are the best ways to develop generosity in today’s economic climate? • What are the biggest challenges I am facing in my church right now? (No political agenda or preaching, just closed-door discussion and peer connecting. We will also offer a free handout from our recent study of megachurches that highlights ideas and trends from across in America.) Conveners Dr. Warren Bird, co-author of 23 books and Research Director at Leadership Network (www.leadnet.org) Dr. Gilbert Velez, Pastor of Iglesia Cristiana Misericordia (www.icmchurchonline.org); and Chairman of National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (www.nhclc.org) Why? Churches that minister to Hispanic-heritage people are one of the fastest growing segments in this country. Never has there been a greater need to develop friendships and to network together in Christ – sharing vision, ideas, resources and advice. Pastors have more in common by attendance and growth than by any other factor. Leading pastors usually find peer-group settings highly beneficial to discuss common concerns. Leadership Network began 26 years ago by inviting senior pastors of the largest churches in America to a similar gathering. Pastors talked with each other on a peer-to-peer basis, expanded their vision as they heard what God was doing among others, and departed with many new friendships – and saying that this was their best meeting of the year. We’ve been involved in “quiet” networking like this ever since for leaders of America’s largest and fastest growing churches. Please fax this form to 214.969.9392 attn: Bonnie Randle or email to bonnie.randle@leadnet.org Who Can Come? Senior pastors of churches with weekly attendance (not membership) of 1,000 or more adults and children that minister primarily to people of Hispanic origin.
