A Consultation with Alan Roxburgh and Mark Lau Branson
Friday-Saturday, August 21-22, 2009
Solana Beach Presbyterian Church
Rather than a conference where a list of speakers provide information and inspiration we’ve put together a working consultation in which we learn, discover and plan together how to develop practical missional life in our churches. The sub-title of the consultation is Moving Back into our Neighborhoods. In our two days together Alan and Mark will assist you in identifying practical ways your congregation can make gospel connections with the people of the communities where they live, work, and worship.
They want to work with what the Holy Spirit is already doing in your context and provide you with real, hands-on resources for creating experiments in missional life tailored to your context and people. Through workshops and hands-on plenaries they will tell stories of what God is doing in local churches and lead you in ways of imagining and planning mission with your people.
Bring Your Team
Initiating change is difficult even in the best of situations and doing it alone only compounds this. You’ve likely had the experience of that “ah-ha†moment at a training event only to come back to your church and be unable to share it effectively with those who work alongside you. Bring your ministry staff, key leaders, elders and anyone else that you’d like to share in this process with you. You can sit together, discuss your congregation and its particular needs, and develop strategies together. To encourage this, bring five team members and the fifth goes free of charge!
The cost of this consultation includes all conference materials as well as dinner on Friday and a continental breakfast and lunch on Saturday.
