The Shocking Truth about Retirement Readiness and the Health of Today’s Pastors – Scott Charbonneau, Managing Director, Insurance Solutions and Art Tennille, Director, Retirement Solutions, GuideStone – Today’s pastors give to their flock sacrifically, but how well are they caring for themselves, their families and their futures? We will unpack some surprising truths. Learn how to use your influence as an associational leader to help pastors make wise choices now and create better outcomes for themselves, their families and their sunset phase of ministry in the days ahead.
ReNew: Transitioning the Transitional Pastor Role – Rob Peters, President, Corpus Church Revitalization – Pastoral Readiness Assessment, Church Receptivity, and Leader Resilience Assessments and Coaching
Mobilizing Gen Z: Overcoming Barriers for Effective Missional Engagement – Andy Pettigrew, IMB Student Team Leader – The more we understand Gen Z, the more effective we'll be at reaching and mobilizing the next generation with the Gospel. Research reveals major barriers among Gen Z that may hinder their participation in missions. Knowing what the top barriers are and how to address them is the key to creating your missional pipeline and raising up healthy missional students.
Wives: Am I My Sister’s Keeper?* – Carole Leathem, Encourager | Speaker | Author of “Finding Joy When Life Gets Messy” – My answer to this question has changed over my 40 plus years in ministry. How do we pursue love and good works, encourage and lead others, yet still maintain balance, set boundaries, and take care of yourself? Join me as we open God’s word and discover how He answers this question and gives us the tools to do it all.
Sunday, June 12, 4:40-5:40pm, Workshops 2
Maximizing and Multiplying Associational IMPACT – Dr. Daryl Price, Executive Director, Noonday Association, Marietta, GA – Learn tools and tips to evaluate current reality, create momentum, and unleash momentum for transformational Associational IMPACT.
Associational Preschools: An Evangelistic Strategy to Help Churches Reach Their Communities in Your Association – Dr. Mike Proud, Executive Director, Colorado Baptist Convention (Former AMS, Orange County Assn., Anaheim, CA), and Mike Stewart, AMS, Great Commission Assn., San Jose, CA – Learn how associations have strategically opened and operated Christian Preschools with their member churches. This approach helps churches connect with young families in need of Christ and provide resources to expand the mission impact of the association.
Redesigning the Association for What’s Next – Chris Reinolds, Columbia Metro Association, Columbia, SC – Leading an Association of churches can be even more difficult than leading a church. Comprehensive toolboxes that help Association teams lead with greater humility, compelling clarity, and increased collaboration as they serve churches are relatively non-existent. At least until now! Test drive some of the tools from our toolbox and hear from the Associational practitioners who are using them to forge the future of what's next in their association.
Illuminating the Biblical Text: Discover How Visiting the Land of the Bible Will Unearth Historical, Cultural, and Geographical Treasures – Sebastian Parra, Israel Ministry of Tourism – This workshop will help you better interpret Scripture, enrich your sermons, and strengthen your personal faith. Also learn the easy steps your association can take to organize a pastors’ and wives trip to Israel - which can serve as a fundraising strategy as well.
Reaching Your Community – Kristy Shotwell, Strategic and Network Partners, Gloo – As culture and community have pivoted during the pandemic, the Church’s mission remains the same. More than ever, churches have the opportunity to use technology to connect with people. By understanding needs, churches can bring hope and healing to those outside of the walls of the church.
Wives: Altars* – Brenda Lackey, Wife of Dr. Deryl Lackey, AMS, Inland Empire Association, Ontario, CA – God has worked in our lives in significant ways. We will take time to remember those ways and give God all the glory He deserves.
*Wives may attend any workshop, but these are designed specifically for AMS wives
