One Day Could Change Your Ministry

One day could change your ministry. I’m convinced.

About five years ago I took a one-day trip to a small town called Granger, Indiana, to hear some lady named Kem talk about communications. I had never heard of Granger and had no idea what to expect.

The experience blew my mind and changed my perspective on the role I played in the life of my church. For the first time I understood the fact that I mattered and that what I did, as a communications person, mattered.

Granger Community Church gets it… and the awesome thing is that they share what they know and what they’ve learned. They have equipped countless churches and church leaders on how to innovatively reach people and make an impact for Christ in specific and practical ways.

So, since it’s Reader Appreciation Week and all, I’d like to offer four of you the chance to go to Granger and check out one of their upcoming one-day workshops. I’ll cover your cost of admission, you’ve just got to get there.

Their next one-day workshops are coming up Nov 12-13. Featured workshops include:

  • EnterMission – Learn how your church can make missions both a life-changing and a world-changing ministry.
  • First Impressions - Learn how to make great first impressions that last.
  • Pop Goes the ChurchBased on the book by the same name, this workshop will explore why it is crucial that we learn to leverage pop culture in the church. But it goes beyond theory. Tim Stevens will unload practical examples about how to convey your message in the language of the culture around you.
  • Untangling the Web – Learn how to make your Web site a welcome relief from the full frontal assault of marketing that your guests deal with on a daily basis.
  • Lasting Impressions – Learn to create environments in your church that allow your guests to move organically toward Christ and others who are following Him.
  • Maximizing the Arts – Learn how can you use the arts to express Biblical messages in relevant, relateable ways.

To enter, just comment below and let me know which workshop you’d like to go to and why. Four random winners will be picked in one week. Want to make it a team experience? Let me know and maybe we can send a team of four!

    Gosh! I would love to go! I've had my eye on Grainger for a while now, and would love to go for a visit. In fact, I've been meaning to!

    I'm fascinated by what they pull off artistically. I would like to know how a guy like Beeson can surround himself with such brilliant artists. What does he do to get them going? What's their process? There seems to be such an openness to experiment and expression. Also a currentness in all that they do.

    I would love to learn more and then bring that home to The Chapel. And I would love to bring my team!

    Thanks for the opportunity!!
