SUMMARY:Ignite the Church Conference
DESCRIPTION:Ignite the Church Conference\nSeismic Shifts: Where do we go from here? \nFebruary 8-10\, 2022 \nSince February 2020\, the Church has been enduring unprecedented seismic shifts. In response\, a new hybrid version of the Ignite the Church Conference will gather next February in Orlando and online to reflect on the theme: Seismic Shifts: Where Do We Go From Here? The theme is grounded in the witness of Psalm 46: 1-2 “God is our refuge and strength\, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear\, though the earth should change and the mountains shake.” Four large group sessions will focus on the following shifts: Public Church (Robin Steinke and Winston Persaud)\, Hybrid Church  (Joe and Jess Liles)\, Adaptive Church (Tod Bolsinger)\, Thriving Church  (Stephanie Spellers). Ten 90-minute workshops will dig deeper into these shifts to offer encouragement\, inspiration\, and challenge for church leaders. \nTo register and learn more about the presenters\, workshop options\, and other details go to www.IgniteTheChurch.net. \nRegister by November 30 to access the lowest $99 in-person rate. The online option will provide live and recorded access to each large group session and the post-conference resource page. The online option is free with a suggested donation $30 to the ELCA Fund for Leaders invited. All proceeds continue to benefit the ELCA Fund for Leaders which has received $13\,000 from the Conference in just the past two years.
