Relevance Conference

I am fired up for this years Relevance Conference which is Thursday May 8th.  Once a year churches from around the 5 state area get together at Eagle Brook to talk about how to get better together.  We talk about how to get better at leading, serving others, teaching, and creating ministries that are trasformational.  We talk about how to get better at creating environments that communicate God’s truth in a relevant way, so that we can reach people for Christ and then help them grow in their faith.  It really is an incredible one day event where churches from many different denominational backgrounds come together, learn from each other, and ultimately focus on what matters most, reaching our neighborhoods, cities, state and world with the transforming message of Jesus.  (Can you tell I get pumped up for this?) 

Imagine for your friend or family member who feels like Eagle Brook is too far away, what if you knew there was another church in their area you could recommend.  The kind of church where they can’t wait to go back.  The kind of church where the Bible makes sense and the worship moves them to tears.  The kind of church where they not only understand what they’ve heard, but they can apply it to their life.  The kind of church where they walk away saying, “It was like God was speaking directly to me today.”  The kind of church where their kids love going to as well.  The kind of church where people are connecting with God and with each other and becoming authentic followers of Christ.  How cool would that be?! 

That’s what the Relevance Conf is all about.  It’s about helping each other become churches that carry out the Great Commission.  We don’t have all the answers, but we want to share what we’ve learned along the way from both our successes and our failures.  It should be a great day.
