One of the things I enjoy the most about youth ministry is meeting with other youth workers. In fact with all the traveling I’ve done recently it’s been awesome to sit with other church workers. That’s why one of my favorite times of year is our church conference Matter 14.
Every year hundreds of church workers from across the country (and a few from overseas) gather in Timonium, Maryland at Church of the Nativity for Matter 14. Together we worship, learn and encourage one another to LOVE GOD. LOVE OTHERS. AND MAKE DISCIPLES. If you couldn’t join us last year you need to this year because:
If you have not checked out the Matter 14 website go to matterconference.tv. There you will find all the information you need to know on breakouts, travel, and registration.
My favorite part are the breakouts. Each one is given by the staff and volunteers at Church of the Nativity. That means everything we share has been tried and tested in the field. It’s an opportunity for you to hear from people working in the trenches.
Also back for another year is our friend Patrick Lencioni, author of many great books like The Advantage and Founder of the Table Group. Along with Patrick, our pastor Father Michael White and our Associate to the Pastor Tom Corcoran will inspire and share wisdom during our incredible keynotes.
The vision of this conference is to inspire, equip and encourage those of you who are in the trenches of church ministry. We know that this is something that you cannot do on your own. Our staff and our volunteers are so excited to meet with you and walk with you.
Now, if you are wondering about the cost, it’s quite affordable. For two days (Last year was only one) it’s $199/person ($109/person for groups), but I’m giving you the opportunity to go for FREE. If you want your registertration fee to be$0 for Matter 14 (And get some really cool swag too!) then this is what you need to do:
That’s it, that’s all you have to do, but you need to do it by Friday August 15th at midnight EST. After that we’ll have a drawing and award two free passes to the winner. Again, all you have to do is leave below in the comments why you got involved in church ministry and subscribe.
If you are already a subscriber then it’s as simple as just leaving a comment.
Last year was a blast, this year is going to be so much better. I hope you can join us for Matter 14, so that together we can LOVE GOD. LOVE OTHERS. AND MAKE DISCIPLES.
