 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE:

BREAKOUT SESSIONS:

• WORSHIP: Discover a Relevant Worship Experience (Eternal Principles breathed into Contemporary Art). Culture is constantly changing. How necessary is it that the Church change to engage the culture? We as a church ask this question continually. Discover with us how God has uniquely shaped His Church to capture the attention of the lost while still engaging the saints.

• GUEST SERVICES: Learn proven methods for transforming your church into a guest-friendly environment.  Hear why intentional hospitality is vital for making your first time guests feel comfortable and valued.  Get practical tools to "WOW" your guests and increase the likelihood of their return to your church.

• ASSIMILATION: Learn a strategic process for integrating first time guests into your church.  Hear ORBC's practical and simple step-by-step process that includes identification of first time guests, effective follow-up, and connection of those guests to the church body through membership.

• PREACHING: Research has shown that the number one reason the unchurched do not attend church is because "the teaching is not relevant to their life."  Learn how to communicate God's unchanging truths to an ever changing culture in a way that produces changed lives!

• SMALL GROUPS: How could small groups benefit the church? What are the distinctives of healthy small groups? What would I need to consider in order start a small group ministry in my church? If you are asking these questions then this small group breakout is for you!

• FAMILY MINISTRY: Re-Invent – a new approach to Children and Student Ministry. Hear the story of our journey and new venture into Family Ministry; as we strive to move away from a ministry of silos and having the goal of retaining children through adulthood.
