If you can’t tell, I’m really started to get pumped up about this year’s Innovative Church Conference. It’s going to be all that and a bag of chips. The conference will be beyond the bomb diggity. (I love my new Urban Dictionary. It helps me stay hip with today’s street slang. That’s important for me and all my homeys in Indiana.)

Check out this year’s lineup for breakout sessions:

Creative Teaching. People are engaged and inspired by pastors and leaders just like you. Learn some fresh teaching techniques.

First Impressions. They matter. Learn the basics of creating a “wow” first impression when someone steps foot in your church.

Leading Artists. They’re creative and passionate and um…interesting to work with. You can lead your artists and help them maximize their gifts.

Multi-site/Theater Church Ministry. Wondering about multi-sites, or how a church can flourish in a unique setting like a theater?

Student Ministry. Teenagers. They’re the church of NOW. How can you engage them in the story Jesus has for their lives?

Web Strategy. Gotta have a church Web site. Gotta make it clean and easy to navigate. Gotta bring people back to it. Wondering how?

Blogging. Get a handle on the basics of the blogosphere and how it can impact your ministry.

Groups. Whether they’re small or large, learn how to create group environments for people to connect.

Kids’ Ministry. Find ways to create an interactive environment to reach kids for Jesus.

Leading Worship. Get a fresh perspective on engaging people in worship.

Missions Outreach. How can your church impact the world? We’ll share some strategies.

Staffing. How do you find and keep great people? They’re probably already attending your church!
