Jesus discipled people as a crowd, a small group, and one-to-one. Learn how one community has sought to implement discipleship for their community in this way, paying particular attention to how people are helped to become disciples one-to-one, when Christians engage them in personal conversation about life and faith, more often than not over a cup of coffee

Fresh Expressions of church begin with missional listening and loving service. As a result, it normally takes some years before a new Christian community can sustain full-time leadership. The aim of this workshop is to recognize the costly nature of pioneer ministries, especially for their leaders, to prepare for them, and to celebrate the successes and failures of those who pioneer.

Track B: Congregational & Parish Leaders

Bishop Graham Cray
A shift of emphasis requires a change of structures, many of them having been designed for other contexts. The aim of this workshop is to learn how others have tackled this problem, and what solutions they are discovering, so that our structures can sustain and encourage disciple making over the long haul.

Track A: Bishops and Diocesan Executives 

For the purposes of Track A, we define denominational executives as an Anglican Bishop, Executive Archdeacon, Archdeacon, Diocesan Staff with a missional portfolio, and their equivalents in other denominations. We are thrilled when parish clergy and pioneers actively engage in mission through other diocesan roles, but we invite them to join Track B or C.

Bishop Graham Cray

If our denominational structures are reshaped to enable the making of disciples, then the leaders of those structures will themselves need to be engaged in being and making disciples, through their style of leadership, their relationships, their teaching, and their way of life. The aim of this workshop is to encourage and equip disciple making leaders who can in turn train others.
