Conference Mode

We were SLACK last year in regards to conferences.  We went to two (Unleash and ChurchPlanters.com).  This year we are stepping it up to allow our crew to see and learn from those ahead of us on the journey.

On tap so far this year:

Fellowship Children’s Conference -  Jenna and Laney signed up for this one yesterday.  I am excited about them seeing Fellowship and learning how they do their children’s area.  They are going to have a blast.

ChurchPlanters.com - I personally think it is the best church planting conference around.  I love every aspect of it.  This year the speaker line-up is off the hook.  Plus I got to go and root Furtick on.  He’s very shy and introverted, so I hope I can get him to come out of his shell. :)  Oh yeah, I am doing a breakout session on portable church at this conference so that should make it even more fun.

Creative Church Conference - I have wanted to go to this conference every year and this year I am going.  It is the same week of churchplanters.com so it will be a long week, but I think I am going to take some people with me and we are going to have a blast.  Plus Perry is speaking and I am going to streak through the worship center right in the middle of his talk.

Unleash - We are taking our whole staff and a ton of our people to this one.  The BEST conference there is to take volunteers to allow them to see the big things God is doing and can do here.  If you attend Revolution and want to attend this with us, contact Taylor at taylor@therevolution.tv.  It is one day and we will head up in the morning and head back that night.

Drive - We are taking the entire staff to this one this year.  It is a great conference for us because it is in Alpharetta so we don’t have to pay for travel or hotel.  I have heard nothing but awesome things about this one and I am pumped about going.

As our church continues to grow, it is vitally important that we as a staff continue to grow.  We have not done the best job of investing in our staff’s ability to grow in the past due to different circumstances.  This year we will invest in them and I can’t wait to see the results from it!!!
