MAIN SESSIONS

The Power of the Crucified Life | Paul Maconochie

Most of us know that as Christians we are called to ‘embrace the Cross’ in our lives. However, this can often be taken to mean that we try hard not to sin, or that we take on discipline and persevere in hardship. In fact the Cross is God’s primary means to release supernatural power in our lives. Paul will be teaching on how we access this transforming power as we follow Jesus.

Intro to 3dm: Living a Jesus Shaped Life | Jeff Allen

This breakout digs into what it looks like to live a Jesus-Shaped Life in light of Luke 6:12-19.  This session is a helpful on-ramp for using 3DM tools and includes access to a personal Self-Assessment to help you picture where you are in your journey as a disciple of Jesus Christ.  The session is led by Jeff Allen, 3DM Denver Hub leader and author of Small Church on a BIG Mission: Cultivating Missional Discipleship in Smaller Churches.  

Rest and Renewal: Learning to Sabbath as a Way of Life | Gwen Adams

The number one reason people quit the ministry is not moral failure, it’s burnout. If we press our lives past our God given design, we will eventually go away. Sabbath Rest must become a regular rhythm in our lives as a way to restore health and ensure longevity as we live out our calling. We will look at creating space for Sabbath as well as taking a close look at what a day of rest and renewal looks like in a practical way no matter how busy your life may be.

Raising up the other 50% - How to Create a Culture Where Women Leaders Thrive | Gina Mueller

We’ll never build a vibrant, multiplying missional movement if half our leaders are sidelined. If you want to create a culture in your church, ministry, or workplace where women leaders are developed and can thrive, we’re going to talk about some specific strategies to get there.  We’ll also talk about what keeps women leaders from stepping into all they are capable of, and some specific things you can do to help women lead with confidence in all their spaces of influence.

Leading your Church Through Culture Change: Setting a Pace People Can Handle | Chris Norman

Building a culture of missional discipleship in our churches not only requires an understanding of what that is, but it also requires the ability to have a plan to get there. This is about a revolutionary change at an evolutionary pace. This workshop will talk about how to lead cultural change at a pace that people can handle through intentional strategy and Spirit sensitivity. 

Business Church: Learning the Integration of Business and Church | Pat Dirkse and Anton Fero

In this workshop we will share real life stories of planting a church and running a business. We will share the benefits and challenges as we intersect between ministry and marketplace.  

Building a Multicultural Congregation on Mission Through Unity of the Spirit | Steve Terry

Can you imagine an organization where multicultural unity is achieved in gender, generation, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity?  Who are the key pioneers and stabilizers and how do you get them to walk in agreement?  This workshop is designed to talk about the perceptions and realities of worshipping as one family with a diversity of expressions.  We believe that if we want to be like Jesus and do what Jesus did then we should pursue building a multicultural church in a world that has been divided for many years.

Women Leaders Forum | Gina Mueller

This workshop is for women only!  We want to create a space to talk honestly about what it’s like to be a female leader, whether in the church or in the workplace.  What are the things that hold us back?  How can we step into the fullness of who God has designed us to be?  And how can we pave the way for all the women leaders coming after us?  Join us, and bring your honest questions.

ReBuild: Building a Missional Movement with Teenagers |Brian Gerig 

In this workshop we will discuss the most forgotten part of youth ministry--the scattered.  The New Testament church elevated the scattering over the gathering.  If most of us are honest as youth workers, it's been about "how many kids can we get to come out on Wednesday night?"    Most of us have become pretty good at planning youth gatherings, events, and summer trips.  But there's more!  There's so much more!  Learn how youth ministry as we know it could be turned upside down if we changed just a couple of things.  Be a part of this workshop and turn your youth ministry into a youth movement!

Practical Strategies for Leading Scattered Church | Bob Rognlien and Gina Mueller

Just as the early church was scattered from Jerusalem, so we have been forced into a new way of functioning during and after global pandemic.  This workshop will give you concrete ideas and strategies that will help you not only survive this challenging season, but thrive in the areas of leadership, life on mission, and multiplying disciples. 

The Scripture Framework for the Ministry of Reconciliation | Reginald Screen 

This workshop will look at the Scriptural Framework for the ministry of reconciliation as well as give practical steps on how to start right where you are. We will cover 2 Corinthians 5:15-20 and we will cover the foundational aspects of growing your cultural intelligence.

Jesus Shaped Justice: How to Pursue God’s Justice through Missional Discipleship | Mike McCoy

Jesus calls us to pursue the justice of God’s kingdom as his disciples. What does this look like? How do we do it? And how do we disciple others to do it with us? Join us for a conversation that will equip us to pursue God’s justice through missional discipleship.

Mobilizing the Church to Serve Those That Society Has Marginalized | Gwen Adams

If your church went away, would your community mourn the loss? Has the church had the impact in the culture that tilled the soil for the gospel message to spread to “the least of these?” In this workshop we will ask and answer the following questions:

1. Who are the marginalized people in your world and how can you effectively reach them with the gospel?

2. How can we build an outreach that is sustainable over the long haul both financially and relationally?

3. How can we effectively partner with other social services, government agencies and other churches to have an impact?

4. As needs increase how can we build and sustain a healthy volunteer model.
