SCHEDULE FOR SACRAMENTO
Small Groups from Start to Finish
(Seminar Series #3 - Super Seminars)
Oct 11 2:00 PM-4:30 PM
Sacramento
If you’re an expert at multitasking—knowing each student intimately and relating to every personality—then you may not need to use small groups in your ministry. However, many youth ministries are unhealthy because the main leader is trying to do everything and care for everyone alone. That single-minded strategy only manages to bottleneck the growth and effectiveness of the group. Healthy youth ministries have a smallness factor where students are known, loved, and cared for by a small-group leader. This seminar isn’t intended to convince you of your youth ministry’s need for small groups; instead, it’s designed to help you look at the “how” of small groups—from start to finish.
Marriage, Ministry, and Family: Q&A
(Late Night Options)
Oct 11 10:00 PM-11:00 PM
Sacramento
Are you ready for a change from the typical seminar format? If so, come hang out with Cathy and Doug as they talk about marriage, ministry, and family life. Cathy and Doug have spent almost three decades doing ministry together. They’ve also been married for 24 years, and they have three fairly normal kids (ages 19, 17, and 13) who are now a part of their mom and dad’s youth ministry at Saddleback. You’ll set the pace for this interactive seminar, as Cathy and Doug come prepared to answer your questions from their own personal experiences, making your agenda their agenda.
