For the past 5 years, NCLI has hosted world-class speakers focused on church planting and renewal within the progressive church. This year, we are taking this to the next level, encouraging church teams passionate about the future of the progressive church to gather in Atlanta on August 8-10, 2012 for a conference focused on teaching and equipping you to grow your ministries and your church.
Our theme this year is Praxis21 – Practicing Progressive Christianity in the 21st Century. You will hear from over a dozen leading experts on everything from building a dynamic, volunteer children’s ministry to running the “business” of church. Bring a team from your church to take full advantage of this experience.
This three-day conference is the only one of its kind in the nation. During these three days, you will have access to the latest practitioners and experts of our age who are changing the Church as we know it. They will teach you how to birth new churches within existing churches and how to start new ministries in your community. If you are entrepreneurial and thinking of starting or renewing ministries in your area, this conference is for you.
