Speaking Good News to "Nones" and “Dones"

Provision for the Path: Personal Finance Tips for Long-Term Ministry
Location: TBA

70% of ministers in the Churches of Christ and Christian Church leave within ten years, often due to financial stress. This session offers hope and practical help, teaching simple financial principles to support a lifelong ministry. Topics include budgeting, basic investing, ministerial taxes, and building a financial strategy aligned with your calling. While helpful for all ministers, this session is especially designed for those in their first ten years of ministry.

Making and Maturing Student Leaders
Location: TBA

The college campus is one of the clearest places where Jesus’ words—“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few”—ring true. There is far more work to be done on campus than full-time ministers alone can accomplish; that’s where student leaders come in. This session will explore how to raise up and equip student leaders to evangelize, disciple their peers, and lead small groups. We’ll also discuss how to create a discipleship experience that inspires student leaders to remain engaged throughout their college years and continue serving in their local churches long after graduation.

Trauma-Informed College Ministry
Location: TBA

This class is designed to equip college ministers with information and strategies to support students effectively when they have experienced trauma. We will help college ministers notice signs of trauma, focusing on church hurt, sexual trauma, self-harm, family of origin, and addiction, and provide an understanding of the help options available to students. The class offers clear guidance on when to refer to professionals and how to identify appropriate professionals when needed.

So your campus ministry wants to “make disciples of all nations”?  What if you could fulfill this call without needing a passport, no huge mission trip fundraisers, and no special immunization shots!  This class will explore various dynamics of ministry to international students.

Then, we will look at 10 ways to use AI in your ministry.
