Ken & Kris Dillingham • How to Create a Missional Culture in a Local Church
This workshop will explore how to cultivate a missional culture within a local church context. We will examine the core principles of disciple-making and the missional strategies that enable the local church to engage in the Great Commission. Every church will be blessed when a missional culture is cultivated and embraced by members/missionaries of the local church. 

Shane LaPierre • Tech, AI and the Scared Pastor
You might be hesitant or unsure about integrating today’s technology and AI into your church. Tech leader and Pastor Shane LaPierre will share simple, actionable steps to help you take advantage of the tech that exists today and hit your important goals like retaining guests, growing your audience, adding that much-needed administrator, and more.

David S. Norris • Extravagant Worship: John 12:1-8
We worship God with singing, in prayer, and with Christian disciplines. Yet our most important worship is made through our life choices. Given that God asks markedly different things from each of us, Dr. Norris explains principles of how to hear God’s voice, gain support from others, take first steps, and how to tune out the wrong voices. 

Janice Sjöstrand • The Power of Love
The Bible is a treasure chest of the many facets of love. Paul describes the promise and joy waiting for those who tap into the power of love. We will explore the implications to human relationships: married, single, divorced, and connected to the Body.
