Effective Methods to Captivate and Engage Students (Pre K - 6th Grade) Learn practical teaching techniques utilizing Biblical principles to foster discipling and promote learning in your students.

Children's Worship: Do you want to do more than entertain or give another Sunday School lesson? This workshop will present a model for a children's worship service for children ages 3-7 that is based on the book Young Children and Worship by Sonja Stewart and Jerome Berryman. The key to this approach is that it is an organized worship context. The weekly routing uses signing, singing, tangible story materials, time for independent response to God and a shared "feast". The outline for the worship time is: we approach God, we proclaim God's word, we give thanks to god and go in God's name.	Becky McKay	Children
Youth Ministry and the Body of Christ In order for a church to best accomplish the 20/20 vision they must understand the scriptural and theological foundations of ministry to the next generations. This seminar will not only explore those foundations but will look more closely at the role and function of youth ministry within the larger church as a disciple making ministry.	Danny Mitchell	Youth
Scripture's "GPS" for a Healthy Church and Home In this workshop, we will reset our ministry compass to recover a simple, effective, theologically-driven, if not overlooked pattern for ministry that strengthens the home and the church in mutually supportive ministry to the glory of God.	Eric Wallace	Family Ministries
Prayer and Discipleship What is meant by the term "revival prayer" and how does this work within the context of biblical discipleship? Developing an intolerable burden for the glory of God and an indomitable hunger for the salvation of souls resulting in God's people growing in holiness, is the thrust of this workshop. Our aim will be to give practical tools to help congregations move toward revival prayer.	Al Baker	Leadership

Training Children to Serve True disciples find their God-given gifts and enjoy using these talents for His glory. Children are never too young to begin the journey into joyful service and we must facilitate this at home and at church.	Sue Jakes	Children
Missions Education Do you want the children of your church to be excited about the work of missionaries around the world? Missions and Me (M&M) is an educational ministry that will spark their interest while developing their understanding of the mission field. In this workshop, participants will learn how to motivate children, develop meaningful and challenging lessons and incorporate children in the actual work of the missionaries. Mary and Carolyn have successfully used this children's missions program for years.	Mary Spraitzer/ Carolyn Myers	Children
Service Driven Youth Ministry: Do I have an app for that? Part of the process of becoming a disciplemaker as a teenager is to have a ministry that empowers and equips students for service both inside and outside the church. This seminar will focus on the balance between training, experience and observation that is needed in equipping students for service as well as the the vital role that the church can play in assisting students to lay of foundation for a lifetime of service.	Brian Ingraham	Youth
You are Ministers: The Role of the Head of Household Developing faithful, accountable heads of households is a mission-critical goal if the church is to be successful in the pursuit of equipping saints. There are simple skills involved that the head of household needs to have. In this session, we will look at those skills.	Eric Wallace	Family Ministries
Revival and Discipleship The Old and New Testaments records of revival make clear that true biblical discipleship is part and parcel with a mighty movement of God. If we are to see our churches and communities transformed by grace, then we must move toward biblical discipleship. This workshop will focus on the biblical characteristics of revival and how discipleship move s us toward them.	Al Baker	Leadership
