WOODBURY, MN (June 17, 2009) – The Department of Church Growth and Evangelism recently conducted a national church plant training event at Crossroads Covenant Church<\/a> in Woodbury.
\n
\nThe training drew teams from 22 future and current churches, including 13 teams comprised of 43 participants from the Northwest Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church.<\/p>\n

The first two days began with worship led by musicians from Crossroads Church. Efrem Smith, pastor of The Sanctuary Covenant Church<\/a>, a six-year-old Northwest Conference church plant in Minneapolis, opened the three-day event by telling the gathering, “We are here because church planting should not be done in isolation. This is about a bigger movement that we can come together around.”<\/p>\n

Sessions covered topics that included: The Message and Mission of Jesus, Brokenness and Your Rule of Life, The Soil of Your Mission Field, and Leadership in a New Church.<\/p>\n

Breakout sessions focused on worship and preaching, children’s ministry, connection and assimilation, outreach and evangelism, ministry teams and small groups, and facilities and finances.<\/p>\n

Training concluded with a commissioning service. Many of the participants attended a service at Sanctuary Covenant.<\/p>\n
