Conference for Pastors on Change

Leading Change in the Established Church is a conference for pastors who are experiencing the difficulties and struggles of leading their church through change.

Hosted by Rolling Hills Baptist Church, and jointly sponsored by RHBC, the State Convention of Baptists of Ohio, and the Baptist Association of Greater Cincinnati, this conference will inform, encourage, and motivate the pastor who longs to see God move through His church.

October 26-28
Begins noon on Tuesday and goes until noon on Thursday.
Includes meals, conference, and lodging (if needed).

Large Group Sessions will be led by Bill Elliff, Pastor of The Summit Church in Little Rock, Ark., and author of the book entitled Navigating the Rapids of Church Conflict.

Large Group Session Topics:

Session 1-- What's the Problem in your Church? What factors will keep your church from necessary change?

Session 2-- What's the Secret of leading successful Change?-- a look at the leader, and key qualities necessary for leading change.

Session 3-- Where do I start? What are the practical steps you need to take to successfully navigate change?

Session 4-- How do I create momentum to move from Casting Vision to Taking Action?

Breakout Sessions will be led by local church pastors:

Resolving Conflict in the Established Church-- Steve Hopkins
Lessons on Change I learned from Nehemiah-- Darrel Gabbard
Innovation and Change in the Established Church-- Marcus Mecum
The Overlooked Key to Successful Change-- Vann Kissell
The number one reason change efforts fail in the established church.

A round-table discussion with lay leaders will offer invaluable insight to pastors: "Layman to Pastor-- how to change the church without destroying it or killing yourself."

Separate sessions will be held for pastor's wives. These will be led by former IMB missionary and pastor's wife Leann Rollins. Participating wives will also have a special outing on Wednesday afternoon.

Cost is $37.50 (wives are free), which includes meals, lodging, and resource materials.
