SUMMARY:Small-Church Ministry Expert Karl Vaters to speak
DESCRIPTION:Karl Vaters is the author of five books\, including the brand-new De-Sizing the Church: How Church Growth Became a Science\, Then an Obsession\, and What’s Next. \nKarl’s other books are: \n\nThe Church Recovery Guide: How Your Congregation Can Adapt and Thrive after a Crisis\n100 Days to a Healthier Church: A Step-By-Step Guide for Pastors and Leadership Teams\nSmall Church Essentials: Field-Tested Principles for Leading a Healthy Congregation of Under 250\nThe Grasshopper Myth: Big Churches\, Small Churches and the Small Thinking That Divides Us\n\nKarl produces resources for Helping Small Churches Thrive at KarlVaters.com. \nHis heart is to help pastors of small churches (up to 90 percent of us) find the resources to lead well\, and to capitalize on the unique advantages that come with pastoring a small church – something virtually every pastor will spend at least some of their ministry years doing. He also believes that big and small churches can and should work together more often – to the benefit and blessing of everyone. \nKarl also hosts a bi-weekly podcast\, The Church Lobby: Conversations on Faith & Ministry. Episodes feature in-depth interviews about the topics that concern pastors\, especially those who minister in a small church context. \nKarl has served in small-church ministry for over 40 years\, so he speaks and writes from decades of hands-on pastoral experience. He and his wife\, Shelley have three children and two grandkids. \nThis one-day experience will cover…\n\nRedefining Success\n“Big” vs. “Small” Churches\nFinding & Training Volunteers for Tomorrow’s Church\nDe-Sizing the Church\n\nTwo locations:\n\nTuesday\, June 4th – Carlisle Baptist Church (701 Walnut Bottom Rd. Carlisle\, PA 17013)\nWednesday\, June 5th – Restored Church (74 S. Meade St. Wilkes-Barre\, PA 18702)\n\nCost:\n$20 per person\, includes a light breakfast and lunch \nRegistration:\nRegister Here
