ForgeCON11: A unique worship training and forming experience!

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

When Joel Klampert said I had to come to the New Jersey Shore and help with The Forge Conference, I immediately knew it would be something unique. Joel is unique. I had never met a worship leader from Rhode Island like him! (Actually, he is also the only worship leader I knew from there.) And, the vision of this conference to serve the smaller local church and challenge out-of-box thinking resonated with me and the seasons I have spent in church planting. The diversity of backgrounds from liturgical, charismatic, Messianic, baptist to modern worship stretched the pallet and enriched the environment like no other conference on worship I have ever attended.

When God Dreams: Next Generation Leaders Conference in Redding, CA

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

On October 21-22 Redding, California young leaders converge for a uniquely grass roots-driven conference: When God Dreams.“When God Dreams is a conference for leaders, pastors, church planters and visionaries who are serious about living God’s dreams with courage.”

I spent several years ministering in Redding and have watched Nathan Edwardson, pastor of The Stirring, passionately reach and grow people with creative vision and humility. He is one of the speakers for this conference which also includes Jesus Culture leader Banning Liebscher and Jason Ostrander, the National Director of Youth Ministries for the Christian and Missionary Alliance.

If you can make it to Redding, do not miss out!

The Forge Conference GIVE AWAY: East Coast conference “for the small church in the trenches…”

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Finally an affordable conference for those in the East Coast for people in the trenches–the small church. Most churches are under 200 people but few conferences specifically program to this huge group. I am so happy my friend Joel and his partners are putting this on! One cool thing is that the more who go from your church or team, the less it costs.

To help out, I am going to give away randomly one conference registration to whoever comments on this post within the next week. This registration will count as a full registration towards your church’s group number.

Forge site: http://theforgeconference.com/

Forge Pricing is $99 a person or $67 a person for teams of 6 or more. The Forge Conference is Sept 30th-Oct 2nd in Ocean Grove NJ.
