Construyendo una cultura de discipulado en la iglesia – Daniel Rodriguez
Sabemos que Dios nos encontró en la gran comisión a todos los creyentes, pero muchas de las veces cuando nos involucramos en la iglesia y estamos tan ocupados con las diferentes tareas se nos olvida la más importante que es el ir y hacer discípulos. Necesitamos no solamente recordar y culparnos de que no lo estamos haciendo para que ocurra un cambio verdadero, sino que necesitamos construir una cultura de disciplina para que sea un cambio verdadero y perdure en las siguientes generaciones de nuestras iglesias.

Building a discipleship culture in the church
We know that God has called all believers to the Great Commission, but many times, when we get involved in church life and become busy with different tasks, we forget the most important one—to go and make disciples. We don’t just need to remember this or feel guilty for not doing it; what we truly need is to build a culture of discipleship so that real, lasting change can take place and continue through the next generations in our churches.

Come hear how our college and university Presidents see God at work on our campuses as young adults are inspired, equipped and called to serve the world through the church, expanding Christ's Kingdom.

Sharpened by sabbatical – Nathan Ensz
Who benefits from a sabbatical? Only the pastor? Is it possible even a pastor’s family and church could benefit? Hear from a pastor who didn’t think a sabbatical was needed, and consider its role in your church.

So you're leading a youth group?! Tips, tools and real talk for new(ish) youth leaders and pastors – Ben Wheeler
New to youth ministry—or just curious how others make it work? You’re not alone! In this workshop, imagine grabbing a cup of coffee with a fellow youth pastor. You’ll hear practical insights from someone who’s been around the block (a few times) and still loves it. We’ll talk about building a “family-style” youth community, leading budget-friendly DIY camps and retreats, and helping students grow into active disciples who become engaged members of the church. Plus, there’ll be time for open Q&A and real conversation about all things youth ministry. Bring your coffee, questions, and ideas—we’re in this together!

Children and Youth Activities
Activities for children and youth will be available for the pastors' conference and convention.
