Conference Stream Options:
-
1. TELL A 2000 YEAR OLD STORY TO UNRESPONSIVE CANADIANS
80% of Canadians do not share our Christian faith or values. The exact numbers may be debatable, but it’s clear that the majority are not responding positively to the Gospel message we are proclaiming. We will identify the challenges we face and pursue ways to become more evangelistically fruitful.
-
2. PRACTICE EFFECTIVE CHURCH LEADERSHIP
Good leadership makes a big difference. Getting the right leaders into the correct roles and helping them commit to humility, servanthood, integrity, faithfulness and effectiveness is the key to flourishing churches.
-
3. SHOW COMPASSION & FIGHT FOR JUSTICE
Jesus set a very high standard for compassion and justice. His reputation attracted many and his cause threatened major upheaval to the status quo. What would it take for us to have a similar impact and reputation?
-
4. REACH & LEARN FROM MILLIONS WHO ARE NEW TO CANADA
People are arriving on Canadian shores from all over. The character of our cities and towns is undergoing massive change. Can more of us learn to think like missionaries? Or will we continue to send costly mission teams elsewhere while ignoring the people who are coming to us?
-
5. START NEW OUTREACH, NEW CONGREGATIONS, AND NEW CHURCHES
New kingdom initiatives are the church’s frontier. What hinders us from being more daring and adventurous? Can we face our fears and apprehensions and stay on the cutting edge of new ministries, new congregations, new sub-congregations (on or off-site), and new communities. Let’s do it!
