I would like to take this opportunity to explain some of the elements in the pre-conference of the National Resurgence Conference: Text & Context / Acts 29 Church Planting Bootcamp. On Sunday February 24, 2008 we are having a slotted time to meet with Mars Hill Church pastors and staff from 2:00pm to 3:30pm PST. Space is limited so sign up ASAP to reserve a spot in the various pre-conference tracks listed below. As well, if you attend this Sunday pre-conference track you will be able to see the evening services at Mars Hill Church. Remember when you sign up to check the appropriate track you want to attend so we can accommodate accordingly.
Track A – Meet with Campus Pastors. At the time of the conference Mars Hill Church will have 6 campuses in the greater Seattle area: Ballard, Downtown, Wedgwood, West Seattle, North of Seattle in Shoreline, and to the East of Seattle in the city of Redmond. All 6 of these campus pastors will be available to field questions and discuss missional concepts of reaching their respective areas as well as addressing what a campus does in the multi-campus system.
Track B – Meet with pastors and staff surrounding video/audio/satellite productions. This is the “nuts and bolts" track of media-related ministry, from recording to benefit your local church to satellite technology and how this can be used to reach beyond your church walls. As well it will be a great opportunity to ask and discuss issues related to technology for the multi-campus system in addition to straight audio/video recording for internet use. To get a feel for video streaming, take a look at some comments from pastor Mark Driscoll by following this link on videology.
Track C – Meet with Pastors and staff involved with shepherding and teaching in the body of Christ. This will be an opportunity to hear from other shepherding and teaching pastors at Mars Hill Church. They will also spend time, if so desired, on how to keep the health of a large and growing church on the forefront of the body along with a strong pulpit. Topics that could potentially be covered – marital, pre-marital, and addiction counseling, discipline and restoration.
