“Who dares despise the day of small things…”

Zech. 4:10

Delve into the profound message of embracing the significance of seemingly insignificant moments in our spiritual journey. Just as God reassured the discouraged builders in Jerusalem, we are reminded that His presence and guidance infuse our smallest efforts with immeasurable significance. Join us as we explore how even the most modest beginnings can lead to remarkable manifestations of God's glory in our lives and communities. Don't miss this opportunity to discover the extraordinary potential within your own small beginnings.

Brandon Bell

Changing the Culture of Your Campus Ministry” (Going from youth group 2.0 to evangelistic outreach)

Location: TBA


Brandon inherited what he calls an inward-focused "youth group 2.0" sort of campus ministry. Immediately, he said he “came in like a wrecking ball” with the intention of making it into an evangelistic and service-focused ministry. That plan worked well…until the mutiny. In this class, he will share that journey, how he helped his ministry become a far more missional, diverse, DMM-minded ministry…and how you can do the same with your campus ministry.

TIME TBA
