Utilizing God's Facilities to Engage the Community and Generate Revenue
Description: Your church’s facilities are an asset that can be used to engage the community and generate revenue to help sustain ministry efforts. By strategically utilizing the facilities GOD has blessed us with, churches can create a welcoming environment that serves the needs of the local community while supporting the financial health of the church. By creatively and responsibly using church facilities, ministries can strengthen their outreach, support financial sustainability, and build stronger relationships with the community, ultimately Glorifying GOD’S Kingdom.

The Five "S's" of Ministry Success
Description: In ministry there are always challenges, there are always problems, difficulties, and situations that leave you scratching your head, asking, “WHAT IS GOING ON!??” In all of the hustle of ministry life and complexity that comes with it, it is really easy to get lost in the “Fog” and before you know it, that building project is so far off the rails not even Google can find it! In a blink of an eye that seemingly minor staff issue gets really big – really fast. Or, maybe the facilities and the budget don’t seem to align, or you have security and access control nightmares that make your head spin and maybe your AV systems are a running joke!
The Five “S’s” helps cut through the chatter, the noise, and the fog, and helps to bring the issues to front and center so it can be dealt with in a clear and concise way.

Keeping Your Pilot Lit: Five Strategies for Avoiding Burnout in Ministry
Description: In the world of ministry church leaders face challenges and pressures on a consistent basis. For many who are Bi-Vocational the ministry and life demands are doubled. The demands of ministry on a church leader’s time, family, and health have led many to burn out and leave the ministry altogether. Church leaders are expected to be experts in the scripture, model a perfect marriage, be involved in or lead a small group, while at the same time become the employee of the month or manager of the year at their other job and while coaching their children’s soccer team if they are Bi-Vocational. Although God has gifted those of us who lead in church with grace He has granted, the task of leading in a 21st Century church can be grueling.
By the end of their time with me, pastors and church leaders will learn how to see the signs of buildup to burnout and learn strategies that will help them avoid burnout so they may burn bright in their calling. Attendees will leave the session with hope as they will be given takeaways that will assist them in keeping fresh fire for ministry.
