Speaker: Ben Stapley
Equip Your Volunteers to Capture Stories Using Their Smartphones
Description: There are more stories worth telling than people equipped to tell them. We live in a world where everyone has an amazing filmmaking tool in their pocket, they just need to know how to use it. My heart is to equip people to use the phone they already have to tell stories of the life change their organizations are seeing. At this point, it’s not the cameras on our smartphones that are holding us back from telling powerful stories. It’s the knowledge on how to best use them. This breakout will give people the knowledge of how they can equip their volunteers to capture stories at events and of the life change happening at their church.

Gospel Influence in a Digital Age: How to Build a Social Media Strategy That Actually Works
Description: Social media is no longer optional for churches—it’s the frontline of modern ministry. But too many churches treat it as an afterthought, struggling to gain traction in an oversaturated digital landscape. If your content isn’t reaching the right audience, inspiring action, or building meaningful connections, it’s time to rethink your strategy.
This session is designed for church leaders, communicators, and media teams who are ready to stop guessing and start executing on their social media strategy.
Speaker: Mark Lebrun
Meltdown: How to Respond When a Crisis Happens at Your Church or Ministry
Description: It’s not if a crisis will happen, it’s when. In today’s 24/7, social media-driven, digital culture, word travels fast. That’s why having a plan in place right now is more important than ever. Over the last few years, we’ve seen a shocking number of moral failures, financial collapses, sexual revelations, and other disasters hitting churches and ministry organizations across the country. How should you respond? Do we need an attorney? When should we alert the authorities? Should we meet with reporters? How do we tell the congregation? Those are just a few of the many questions that come at you with blazing speed. Phil Cooke has advised many churches and ministries in crisis, and in this session, he’ll share exactly what you need to know and how you need to respond.

LED Walls: Positives, Negatives, Fixes and Best Use Cases
Description: This session will go over the best use cases for LED Walls. You will learn how to present practical examples to your leadership on when LED should be used and when they should not be used. We will also answer questions on camera moire and how to avoid it. We will also dive into how far does the congregation need be sitting from an LED wall and what millimeter pitch should you choose? How LED works with cameras and lenses? You will walk away from this session feeling better informed and equipped to talk about when LED is the right option for you.
Speaker: David Leuschner
Lighting Overhaul: Improving In-Person, Online, and Getting Creative
Description: Our Lead Pastor’s greatest technical frustration was our lighting. It didn’t look good in the room, it didn’t look good on video, and it limited what we could do creatively. After years of bandaids and getting by, we finally had the budget space to do the lights right.
Join us for a before-and-after look at how a major lighting overhaul opened up our creative possibilities, enhanced the in-person experience, and dramatically shifted the livestream look. We’ll talk about the planning, the implementation, getting it all to work — and finding new volunteers along the way. Learn from our mistakes, wins, experiments, and pursuit of getting it right.

Leadership & Team Development
United in Excellence: Strengthening Tech and Worship Ministry Through Skill, Humility, and Healthy Relationships
Description: In this session, learn from a technical director and a worship pastor how to pursue musical and technical excellence while developing healthy relationships between the two groups of people involved in bringing the worship production to life. All too often there seems to be a tension between the worship band and the tech team with possessive attitudes towards the stage, the gear, and the responsibilities of both groups. These two groups of people are usually the ones who spend the most time together and yet have the potential to create the most tension and problems with each other. This session seeks to provide ideas and examples of how to bridge the gap between the two groups to bring about next-level excellence in our worship services.
Speaker: Aaron Spencer and Rob LaLiberte
Your Church Has a Story. Design Services That Tell It.
Description: This session is all about helping you hit pause and rethink how you approach service planning—not just as a checklist, but as a chance to tell the unique story God is writing in your church. What if every moment of your weekend—every transition, song, message, and element—was aligned with your church’s mission and voice? What if your services could consistently reflect not just good production, but deep purpose?
Speaker: Nicole Lucas
Holy Ground in a Digital Age: Balancing Tech and Transcendence in Worship
Description: The post-COVID era presents churches with a new challenge: people are anxious from digital oversaturation yet hungry for peace, authenticity, and sacred experiences. This session explores how the pandemic accelerated digital engagement and amplified anxiety, especially among younger generations. In response, many are seeking transcendent worship spaces distinct from everyday life. Drawing from research, we’ll explore how overstimulation impacts the mind and how sacred environments can offer relief and an authentic connection to God and a faith community. Gen Z is increasingly open to spirituality and truth, desiring experiences that are real, not commercialized. This session reframes technology and theatrical production—lighting, audio, video—not as distractions but as artistic, theological tools to support holistic worship when used with sacred intentionality. Attendees will gain practical strategies for designing worship environments that foster intentionality of praise, peace, and divine presence while avoiding overproduction. By embracing a theology of beauty and wonder, churches can meet today’s longing for holy ground in an anxious world.
Speaker: J.P. Kwok
Children and Youth Leading the Way in the Worship Ministry
Description: Many churches have seen a decrease in their younger audience on Sunday mornings. This is likely due to a lack of purpose that our young people feel when going to church. What if there was a way to help our youth find worth and empower them to continue their faith journey, while also supporting your worship & tech ministry?
In this session, we’ll discuss how to incorporate children and students into the worship & tech ministry at your church. We’ll also discuss how to encourage church leadership to work with you to develop a culture of ministry growth with the younger generations by showing how First United Methodist Church in Bentonville, AR was able to develop a program that worked with their congregation’s needs and abilities.
Speaker: Allison Earhart and Ray Wheeler
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.
