Growing the Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit— Black Mountain, NC

Invest in the future of your church and your leadership, and renew your vision for life in the Kingdom of God. Join us and explore how your church can grow in its practice of cooperating with the Holy Spirit.

Beneath the surface of churches’ programs and activities lies the fundamental question:

How can leaders and churches be enabled to discern and obediently cooperate with the guidance of the Holy Spirit?

Come to this event and learn the dynamics of cooperation so we can enter the dance with Christ and the Holy Spirit through which Christ grows His Church.

You will come to understand how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in growing your local church for the purpose of fulfilling God’s calling and plan for your church. We want to help you ask and discern: “God, what do you want for our church?”

Whether you’ve been serving for 15 years, 15 months, or starting in your first pastorate, this conference is geared for you.

This is not a quick-fix event or an off-the-shelf program to ‘magically’ make your church bigger. Grasping at the latest trend is tempting. But God Himself knows how He wants to work in your unique local context.

The fundamental question is: How can leaders and churches discern and obediently cooperate with the Spirit’s activity? Working with the analogy of partners in ballroom dancing, participants in this conference will discover,

• The foundations that need to be in place
• The ‘dance steps’ to keep in step with the Holy Spirit
• The pitfalls and benefits involved in seeking to operate under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

This dynamic process of cooperating with the Holy Spirit is not a program itself. Rather, it is an approach to Spirit-led ministry that underpins your church’s activities and programs.
