Sticky Teams Best Practices

Dave Barr & Michael Lwin - New Hope Church

Since each church has its’ own culture and context, what works in one church may not work in another.   In this workshop, we will have a Sticky Team best practices dialogue to seek solutions to fit your church.  This breakout will provide ideas, resources and tools on building sticky teams along with candid discussion on what has and has not worked in sticky team building.

Sticky Sites - Ensuring a Great Multi-Site Launch

JD Larson & Chris Mavity – North Coast Church

It’s no secret that launching a site (or venue) requires lots of time, effort, energy and money; each a resource in short supply.  In this session Chris and JD speak from their years of experience in multi-site and multi-venue ministry.  They will expose the 4 pillars of a “Sticky Site” and how to leverage these ministry resources to achieve the very best lunch possible.
