Stewardship is a Life of Servanthood – Gordon P. Johnson Stewardship is the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care. It includes, but is not limited to money, material possessions, health, gifts, talents, time, friends, family, oneself, our church family and the local and global community. It is more than simply tithing.

This interactive workshop will look at recent surveys about how pastors are coping, and will explore ways that we can be both blessed and effective over a lifetime of ministry. A Woman Called to Lead – Kim Blackaby What are the struggles and adjustments necessary to work out my calling as a woman gifted to lead?

The Tyranny of Preference Small Groups, Big Impact – Randy Wollf Are you interested in taking your small group ministry to the next level? Based on current research, we will see that small groups that see people accept Christ, increase in size, and multiply into additional groups have four things in common. They have small group leaders who grow their groups by modelling and facilitating prayer, outreach, care and the empowerment of group members. In the second part of the workshop, we will look at how small group leaders can mentor the people in their groups by asking excellent questions.
