You are not alone.
A FREE two-day event that equips participants to revitalize their Bible study ministries
Sunday School Essentials Promo | SBCV
No matter what a church calls its Bible teaching ministry, the Sunday School Essentials Conference will help attendees revitalize their church’s most important ministry. The Essentials conference is a FREE 2-day conference experience for persons who lead their church’s Bible teaching ministry (lead pastor, discipleship pastor, Minister of Education, Sunday School director). It is especially helpful for leaders who have been in that role less than three years.
Lifeway covers the cost of meals, conference materials, and snacks. Attendees also receive a Pastor’s CSB Bible, plus books related to group ministry. The conference begins at 1:00 PM on day one, and concludes at 4:30 PM on day two.
Ken Braddy, Lifeway’s Director of Sunday School, leads this fast-paced training event. Ken is a published author, blogger, trainer, practitioner, group leader, and Sunday School expert. Attendees are responsible for their travel to and from the event, and for booking their hotel room for one night, if needed. There is no cost to register for this conference. Space is limited, so please reserve your spot.
Topics Include:
- A Biblical Basis for Groups
- The Purpose & Definition of Sunday School
- Discovering a 5-Step Plan for Growing Your Sunday School
- A Process for Discipleship at Your Church
- Best Practices for Enlisting & Training Leaders
- Starting New Groups
- Creating Your Post-Conference Next-steps Plan
