The Matter Conference at Church of the Nativity in Timonium, Maryland is November 6th and 7th. It’s one of the highlights of our years because it’s a chance for our staff to come alongside other church workers. It’s something you don’t want to miss out on.
It’s so easy to miss out on experiences like Matter because of:
- Budgets
- Travel
- Busyness
To go to a conference is a sacrifice, but Matter is worth it. It’s a church conference designed for people who are in the trenches of church ministry. It’s a chance for you to grow in your profession and in your faith. At Matter Conference 14 you’ll:
RECEIVE IN THE TRENCH WISDOM
Everyone presenting at the Matter Conference are men and women who work in parish ministry. They’ve felt the pain of failure and disappointment. Our staff are the presenters and will share with you what’s worked and what hasn’t.
HEAR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Patrick Lencioni, author of the Advantage and other great books will be joining us. He’s helped us become a healthier organization and I would love for you to hear what he has to offer. At Matter he’ll give insight on what a healthy organization looks like and some of the first steps you need to take to move in that direction.
HAVE A CHANCE TO BREATHE
It’s easy to feel frustrated and tired from the grind of church ministry. If you do not know how to take a step back and breathe it will eat you alive. This conference is not just a chance to learn and grow but be poured into. Our staff and volunteers are here to make this two day experience feel like a retreat.
LEAVE NOT FEELING ALONE
Church ministry can get lonely. A conferences like Matter will wipe that feeling away. When you come to an experience with other church workers you’ll see that people:
- Have the same concerns.
- Face the same problems.
- Want to come alongside of you.
At Matter you can network and build relationships with churches from around the country. When you network at a conference you’ll have people you can lean on and reach out to when you need assistance.
I’m so excited to have you come out and join me and my staff. While we do not have all the answers we have the passion to serve you. If you haven’t registered now, get on board. All you have to do is click here. We can’t wait to see you.
