How do we effectively share the gospel of Christ in an urbanized world? Four out of five Americans now live in the city, creating one of the greatest evangelistic challenges facing the Adventist church in America. This Conference will highlight proven principles and practices that impact the holistic needs of diverse people groups in cities. It will spotlight innovative, successful, and sustainable ministries operated by Adventist churches in the urban context. Attendees will be exposed to Biblical principles that should influence and inform effective ministry in our current social climate.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Pastors, Local church Elders, Adventist Community Services Directors, Urban Ministry/Inner-City leaders, Outreach volunteers and anyone tired of “doing the same thing, but expecting a different result.”
Churches are encouraged to bring multiple, key leaders to the Conference. Those that register 5 or more, will receive a $9 rebate per/attendee after the conference.
