Every worship leader and team encounters struggles unique to the ministry of music. From navigating critical feedback to equipping undertrained or inconsistent volunteers, and from balancing creative demands to communicating with other leaders who may not fully understand the nuances of music ministry, the challenges are real and often complex. This session provides perspective, encouragement, and practical wisdom for handling these tensions with grace and clarity.

This workshop teaches you principles and models for relevantly sharing Jesus and making disciples among young people who would not usually walk into the church. How can we communicate the Gospel to them when they have such a negative view of God? When you have the boldness to step outside the Church and share your faith, people are open and ready to hear the Gospel. This workshop equips, inspires, and challenges you to reach a lost generation.

The news cycle moves quickly, often marked by troubling events and shaped by bias intended to influence readers and viewers. This session explores how Christians can respond with wisdom and faithfulness. Drawing on the experience of two Christian journalists, it introduces biblical principles for discerning the news, engaging in thoughtful conversation, and living faithfully in response.

As members of Christ’s body, Christians are called to collaborate, yet working in partnership with other churches or ministries can be difficult and painful. This practical workshop takes you through a simple framework for thinking through some of the most important questions when setting up a partnership between two or more ministries. It will also help you figure out how to move things forward when a partnership arrangement is struggling.

In order to persuasively communicate the Gospel, we need to identify and expose the worldview assumptions behind the arguments and evidence presented against Christianity. Drawing from Acts of the Apostles and the Epistle to the Romans, this workshop explores how Christians can speak about God based on what He has made known and how He reveals Himself. We consider how this shapes effective apologetic engagement without drifting into either cold rationalism or blind faith, equipping participants to respond to challenges to the Gospel with clarity and confidence.

Church is designed to be a beautiful community of Christ-centred love where those inside the church are helped to persevere and grow, and those outside are shown the goodness of God. But how do we help our churches become those communities of transformational love? Through praying, teaching, role-modelling, and serving, we each have a role to play. In this session, we encourage each other to be intentional about caring for one another well.
