BREAKOUTS & VENDORS

Change is inevitable in ministry—whether it’s a shift in leadership, a new vision, or unexpected challenges. The real question is: how do you lead through it with confidence and grace? In this breakout session designed for leaders at every level, from volunteers to directors, we’ll explore practical strategies for navigating resistance, building trust, and keeping teams motivated during times of transition. This session will equip you to stay grounded, foster healthy teams, and guide your church family through the unpredictable. Change is coming; are you ready to lead?

This session’s goal will be to encourage and provide insight into creating and maintaining a successful music ministry as a bi-vocational professional. I am currently in my 27th year as a music minister in South Carolina, and I know that organization, planning, and time management is of the utmost importance for bi-vocational leaders. In this breakout, I hope to provide you with practical advice and suggestions as you seek to lead your congregations in worship.

This breakout for worship leaders who aim to love, guide, and produce good leaders through biblical truth and worship to Jesus. 

While we may not ask for it, the teaching pastor and worship pastor have two of the most visible positions of leadership in the church. When this relationship is flourishing, it will be reflected in a unified approach to worship. When it’s not… well, you know the rest. Join this conversation to look at the necessity of having a strong relationship between these two positions, specifically from a pastoral perspective.

Emotional health is a critical but often overlooked aspect of being an effective church leader. As we face unique pressures, joys, and trials, prioritizing emotional health is essential for having a healthy ministry and sustainable leadership. Acknowledging one’s emotional health and working on it like any other discipline better equips us to handle conflicts, manage stress, and foster spiritual formation in our congregations. This breakout is designed to create a culture of openness and support for those in ministry about emotionally healthy leadership. We will explore how our own vulnerabilities can be an encouragement for those in our church to work on their own emotional health without fear and judgment. By addressing this area, we hope to help leaders extend their longevity and effectiveness in ministry as we explore practical strategies for church leaders to pursue biblically focused emotional health.

This breakout is designed for worship ministry leaders seeking to enhance their volunteer teams.

Many lessons can be learned from years of service to the local church. How do you endure through difficult seasons of ministry? How do you set your life up to make it the long haul? Join this discussion for biblical principles and helpful tips for a ministry that will last a lifetime.

In today’s worship culture, the use of pre-recorded music has become increasingly common, shaping the atmosphere of corporate worship services. But how does this impact the authenticity of our worship experience? Join us as we examine the critical role of worship leaders in balancing technology with genuine, heart-driven worship and discover practical insights to create worship experiences that honor God and encourage congregational worship.
