Synergy 2022 - Practical Ways To Implement And Track Progress In Kids: Eight Sustainable Goals

We want our work with kids to be practical, measurable and sustainable. Our goal is to teach kids how to draw closer to God and be spiritually resilient as they mature into the leaders of the church. We want them to be disciples of Christ and have a heart that beats for spiritual relationship with a Savior. But what constructs will allow us to do that? Using the 8 Goals of Children's Ministry written by David Boyd, we will develop a system that sets you up to present a measurable outcome to parents. This easily replicated process will allow you to track the progress of any number of children as they progress through your predetermined task list. You will learn the 8 goals, receive a spreadsheet form that will allow you to enter your tasks and then track the progress of each student individually. Use this information for conversations with parents, pastors, board members, kids and team members so they can see the impact of the progress your kids are making. Yvette Semon Children's Pastor, Chester Christian Center AG

Synergy 2022 - The Art Of Gathering: ReEnergizing The Gathering Power Of Your Church For A New Day

A gatherer is a people magnet who is able to draw people in spiritual pursuits of Jesus Christ - they are able to say “Come with me and see." The Bible tells us MUCH about this person, but the church in the USA really does not know who this person is nor how to put them to work in the harvest. Join us as we begin an initial conversation about Gatherers (about GSE) - who Gatherers are, how we discover them and put them to work in the harvest for both church planting as well as established church harvest work. Tony Webb Vision USA Church Planting

Synergy 2022 - Rethinking Urban Ministry

Church planting in the urban core is hard, sacrificial work. It requires a great deal of grit and perseverance to make a church "sustainable." A new paradigm is emerging that reimagines the foundation of urban church planting. It's a biblical model that meets the needs of ALL the residents in the constantly changing landscape of city neighborhoods. Come discover how the Christ-centered, diversely united church is the future of thriving churches in urban neighborhoods.   Tom Baxter Lead Pastor, Peoples Church East
