This seminar provides church leaders with some basic orientation and skills for helping individuals and groups engage in evangelism across cultural, ethnic, and racial difference. Participants are given tools to deepen their self-awareness and to help guide church leaders in thinking about how to grow a faithful multiethnic witness.

Parenting as a church leader is filled with amazing opportunities and some unique challenges. We have to parent in a goldfish bowl, navigate the needs of our family and our churches, deal with confidentiality, the pressure of congregational expectations and more. 

The good news is that church leadership is a context where our families can thrive, not simply survive. Based on years of research and the book "Parenting as a Church Leader", this seminar empowers parents in ministry leadership to help their children thrive at home, in church, and in their own connection with God. With foundational and practical approaches to parenting in ministry, this seminar will hopefully leave you feeling affirmed and more confident in your parenting for the long haul.

We live in an increasingly anxious society where lives often feel so overstretched and burdened with expectations. This seminar explores a Biblical understanding of anxiety and helps us in developing a practical Biblical resilience and resistance to anxiety by understanding that our minds can be an arena of conflict where many battles are won and lost.

In this seminar John Wright explores the topic of deliverance. He demystifies some of what being influenced by evil spirits might look like, how to discern whether someone is troubled spiritually, or in some other way, and practical tips on how to minister to someone needing deliverance.

Today's cultural conversations are increasingly complex and confusing. Whether we're sat round the kitchen table, chatting in the workplace, or debating laws in parliament, the stories that shape who we are and how we are to live are often polarised and contradictory. This seminar will help you understand what these stories are, where they're coming from and how we can offer an alternative good, true and beautiful story of what it means to be human today.

We are living in challenging times, where it is becoming increasingly difficult to lead. Jay Pathak (National Director of Vineyard USA) shares practical and helpful insights on how to deal with conflict and crisis in leadership.
