Breakout Sessions
Send Out the Search Party! (10:30 session only)
Facilitated by Rev. Steve Zimmerman, Founder of the Barnabas Partnership, Martinsville, Virginia.
Today’s church is full of seasoned travelers on their Christian journey. For many of us we have forgotten what a person goes through when they are lost without our guide, Jesus. In our session we will go searching for the 24 Laws of Lostology and how it will help us build better caring relationships with those lost souls that need Christ in their lives.
Just A Closer Walk with Thee (repeats at 12:30)
Facilitated by Rev. Dr. Rick Jordan, Barnabas Partner and President of Great Bible Teachers, Lewisville, North Carolina
One of the core components of faith formation in any Christian’s life is prayer. It is especially essential to the Christian leader. We pray as we were taught to pray, but there are many ways to pray that we may never have learned or seen modeled. We will examine and practice some of these prayer styles in this session. We will also explore options for sharing these types of prayers in our faith community (worship, meetings, Bible studies, etc.)
Preparing Children and Youth to Reach New Heights (12:30 session only)
Facilitated by Rev. Steve Zimmerman, Founder of the Barnabas Partnership, Martinsville, Virginia.
The old path for a church’s ministry to children and youth has changed! The landscape looks drastically different now! In our time together you will come away with some tried and true foundations to build on and resources to help sustain these young lives on their Christian journey and those adults who nurture them along the way.
