This year's theme is Crossing Bridges, based on Philippians 1:3-6: "I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for you I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that the One who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."  

Additional workshops will include Creative Use of the Arts in Worship, Matthew 25 in the Small Church Context, Learning From and Partnering with New Worshiping Communities, and many more!
