Celebration
of Abundant Life - COAL |
 |
- Although
we don't live our life on the
mountaintop, many believers choose
to live their lives in the valley. Since
Christ came that we might have life, and
have it to the full (John 10:10), the
church must be living out a life that is
reflective of all of the joy and
fullness that is available.
A Celebration of Abundant Life is a
special weekend devoted to exploring
the promises found in God's Word so
that we can reach out for the Holy
Spirit to fill our lives to overflowing
with His Presence. Members will
experience and be encouraged to pray,
study the Scriptures, build
relationships and be practice ministry
and evangelism.

| Celebration
of Faith - COF |
 |
- "Once
upon a time... "begins many
stories. Except this story is not
fiction - it is your story. It is your
story written by the Author of all
things. Each day, you are living out
another chapter. How are others reading
it? A Celebration of Faith is a special
weekend devoted to living the
Christian life as modeled in the First
Century. During the COF, a group of
team members will live among you, lead
small groups and share their faith in
Christ for the purpose of encouraging
and challenging each person to make a
more complete commitment to the Lord.
Church members will be motivated,
renewed and recommitted to their love
for Jesus Christ and the work of the
church.

| Celebration
of Prayer - COP |

- It is easy
amidst the busyness of church life to
lose sight of the Reason we are doing
the work in the first place. How can we
slow the treadmill and get back to a
meaningful and significant life course?
-- A Celebration of Prayer is a weekend
designed to give the church a chance
to reconnect with what it means to be a
vibrant church of prayer. By
spending the time to intentionally go
back to the basics, we can awaken a new
appreciation for prayer and its ability
to change the lives of your members and
people around them!

Renewal and Development |
| Basic
Leader Training - BLT |
 |
-
Basic
Leader Training Retreat (BLT) was
developed to equip church leaders with
the foundations for Christ-centered
leadership of God's church. It
explores the mission of the church and
the leader's role in pursuing that
mission. It defines and then
provides practical methods for
developing a church that is:
Bible/prayer-centered, growing/caring,
witnessing/evangelistic, giving and
vision driven.
-- The
church leaders examine their own
spiritual gifts in preparation for
leading their members through the same
process. The BLT is an experience
for churches that want to establish a
strong foundation on which to grow both
numerically and spiritually.

| Leadership
Effectiveness Training - LET |
 |
- Leadership
Effectiveness Training (LET) assists
churches in building a strong
architecture for growth and ministry
effectiveness. The LET focuses
the church leaders and prospective
leaders on ten components found in
churches doing some of today's most
effective ministry. Each component
is explored from a biblical
perspective. Specific issues and
barriers are unwrapped and practical
steps are determined to strengthen the
host church in each area. Plenty
of small group interaction as well as
large group brainstorming insure useful
application. A detailed
participant's workbook insures that the
valuable teaching is not lost. The
workbook also provides the church with
an ongoing structure to equip future
leaders. Use of video sketches and
excellent visual slides makes the
weekend a fast-paced, stimulating
experience
