Exposed :: Innovate 2009

Granger Community Church is hosting their annual Innovate Conference coming up on September 24-25.

I’ve gone to Innovate three times now and each time have walked away completely blown away and inspired by my time there.

You can go to a lot of conferences and walk away with some great ideas but have no idea what your next steps are or how to make change happen in your own church… but one of the great things that the team at Granger does is not only show you the “what” but the “how” and the “why.”

One of the huge benefits of going to Innovate is that you’re not only getting a great experience, you’re practically equipped and get a behind-the-scenes, stripped down look at how Granger makes things happen. And from the looks of it, this year is going to be awesome…

Innovate is an incredibly valuable team experience… you can bring your whole team to hear general sessions then go to specific breakouts related to various areas of your church… your communications people can hear from Kem Meyer, Mark Waltz and his team can talk to your volunteer leaders and First Impressions people… Rob Wegner can talk to your missions people… Tim Stevens can talk to pastors… and many more.

Are you getting the idea yet? If you need more convincing, check out ALL of the sessions from last year’s conference online!

So here’s the deal.

You want to go?

I’ve got 2 sets of 2 tickets to give away… and thanks to my friends at Jarbyco, you can text to enter to win!

Text GrangerTix to 47201 for your chance to win!

Two winners will be randomly selected on Friday.

You’ll need to cover your own transportation and hotel while you’re there, but you’ll get 2 tickets to Innovate and get to have lunch with me at the conference.

Fire away, RT it, and good luck!

Congrats to the winners and thanks to all who entered!
