Whether you feel called to pursue pastoral ministry and are working toward ordination, or you feel called to serve in the local church in some way and are seeking to be better equipped for what God has called you to do, the School of Ministry is for you.
This impactful two-day FREE event here in Northwestern Ohio includes practical teaching, breakout sessions, inspiring preaching, powerful life-change stories, great news from around the world, and moving times of worship and celebration, all moving toward a powerful Celebration of Ministry service. This LEAD Conference at District Advance will inspire and equip our teams to make disciples and will model what all of us want to see happen in our local churches. From the teaching to the connections made and celebration of the great things that we are seeing across our churches, it will prepare our teams and churches for the new things God wants to do in Northwestern Ohio and beyond.
July 19th through the 22nd, we’re stepping away from the noise of everyday life to gather as families, worship together, hear from special speakers, and simply make space for God to move. Let’s lean in together and believe that God has something fresh for every one of us this week. Welcome to REKINDLE.
