Kevin will be speaking on the topics of Artificial Intelligence and the church, as well as addressing the topic of National and Global Politics and how they are and should be used in our churches and pulpits. These two topics are on the forefront of our minds because they are everywhere! You will not want to miss these two sessions and the discussions that follow.

Rob brings a wealth of knowledge to us in the worlds of Church planting and Church vitalization. These are two tools that are at our disposal as a district to help foster growth in the next few years.
