If you struggle to get volunteers and are left scratching your head as to why, this workshop will help! \

Cultivating Innovation: Shaping the Creative Process Together (Kyle Oliver)
We’ve all said it: “Someone suggested ___________, and we thought it was a great idea. But we just couldn’t seem to follow up.” This workshop will review research-based and real-world-tested practices for busy teams and individuals to develop and implement creative new ideas. Our focus will be realistic and sustainable approaches built on shared accountability. Don’t worry, this workshop is a no shame zone!
10 Solutions for Smaller Churches (Melissa Rau)
“But we’re a smaller church!” If you’ve uttered those words or heave heard others around you vent or lament something similar, this is the workshop for you. There are unique pros and cons to being a smaller church. Participants will learn to leverage their “smallness” and gain insights into facing the unique challenges. How to gain critical mass is just one topic that will be addressed.
Visioning and Planning (Donald Romanik)
Many people in churches talk about it, yet few have the tools to effectively cast vision and plan for the future, let alone actually achieve results. If you’d like to learn more about ways to move your church or ministry forward and attract others to join your cause (i.e. recruit people), don’t miss this workshop!
