“We invite your church leadership – pastors and staff; worship, adult, youth and children’s leaders; councils, leadership teams and boards; finance committees and outreach ministries,” says Krisann Jarvis Foss, the conference’s director of ministries.
Seminars will focus on leadership areas that include global ministry, youth ministry, children’s ministry and pastors’ leadership. The latest addition to the agenda is a seminar for church finance committees and treasurers called “Upside of Mission in a Downside Economy.” It will help churches deal with the current economic crisis.
Keynote speakers at the event will be Dan Pietrzyk, director of Sustaining Pastoral Excellence, and Debbie Blue, executive minister of the Department of Compassion, Mercy and Justice. Pietrzyk’s plenary session will address the topic “Leading from Within.” Blue’s session will address “How the Church Leads Out.”
The event will be held between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Admission is $35 per person or $30 per person for groups of three or more from the same church. For more information about registration, seminar topics and the schedule, visit the Leadership Matrix website.
