All In Ministries: Don't Waste Your Women — Rethink Women's Ministry
Pastors/Leaders: You want help. You cannot disciple every person or meet every need. Likely, your help is sitting right inside the church: women. To encourage and equip women to fulfill their part in the body of Christ requires intentionality. Women's ministry in the local church is not meant to be superficial or siloed. With your support, women's ministry can be one of the most evangelistic, disciple-making drivers of the local church. That’s because in single-gender environments, women feel more comfortable asking questions, volunteering, and sharing their faith. You’ll learn how to launch (or re-launch) women's ministry with a proven framework to equip women to be disciples who make disciples of Jesus. This high-impact approach combines biblical principles with business strategies to mobilize women. (Win our track giveaway: award-winning new disciple-making Bible study, Your True Story.)

Bonhoeffer Project: Intentional Gospel

Lionshare: Beyond Bible Knowledge: Transforming Lives
The way the Western church has communicated spiritual truths has relied much more on what we are learning (the Greek model), than who we are learning from (the Hebrew model). Knowing Scripture is important but for life transformation to happen, we need revelation from the Holy Spirit and the will to obey.
Location: Level 2 - Choir Room
Speaker: Dave Buehring

Mercy Multiplied: Knowing Your Lane and Your Call as You Disciple Hurting People
It is vitally important that you know who God has called you to be as you disciple people who are hurting and struggling. But it is just as important that you know what you are not called to be! In this session we will dive into the important characteristics of an “ambassador of freedom,” understanding your role in other people’s lives (as opposed to God’s role in their lives), knowing who you can help and who you cannot help (yet), and having a firm grasp on when outside support is needed.
Location: Room 207 C
Speakers: Melanie Wise and Marshall Gallagher

Navigators Church Ministries: Foundation Building: A CORE Team That Supports the Vision
Foundation building is step #1 in your church’s disciple making process. Churches that make disciples without building the foundation are depending on an upside-down pyramid to stand firm. Such "Fire, Aim, Ready" approaches result in short-term impact followed by long-term grasping. To create a disciple making culture in your church, laying a foundation is essential. This workshop kicks off an entire track that will help you learn how to practically build a disciple making foundation.
Location: Level 3 - Montelle Hardwick Hall
Speakers: Justin Gravitt

Speakers: Jim Putman and Brandon Bowers

Location: Sanctuary

Small Circle: Why We Are Scientifically Wired to Get Beyond the Group Setting
Why is it that when only two of us are sitting in a restaurant booth, there is a certain sense of close connectivity that uniquely happens without a third party? The answer is that we are engineered to experience various levels of closeness in different relational settings. Jesus demonstrated that disciple-making takes place in all kinds of settings - group, micro-group (3-4 people), and one-to-one. It’s the one-to-one that often gets left out in disciple-making and an invaluable relational dimension is lost. This session will focus on the necessity, the power, and the strategy of including the one-to-one level in disciple-making.
Location: Room 203
Speakers: Steve McCoy
