| Release Date: 07/11/2008 |
LOUISVILLE – Those who lead church ministries will benefit from a variety of training sessions at six Super Saturday events throughout the state in August and September.
Sponsored by the Kentucky Baptist Convention, Super Saturdays are comprehensive church ministry training events. Hundreds of participants are expected at each of the six locations.
Events will be held Aug. 16 at Immanuel Baptist Church in Lexington, Aug. 23 at St. Matthews Baptist Church in Louisville, September 6 at First Baptist Church in Somerset, Sept. 6 at Lone Oak First Baptist Church in Paducah, Sept. 13 at First Baptist Church in Pikeville, and Sept. 13 at First Baptist Church in Bowling Green.
New this year, Comeback Church courses will be offered for churches seeking to experience turnaround church growth, and Safe Church Initiative courses will be offered to help church leaders and volunteers understand how to protect children and youth in church.
A teen track will also be held at the Lexington, Louisville, Paducah and Bowling Green locations.
“Super Saturday is designed to help Kentucky Baptists discover practical tips for strengthening their ministries,” said Wilson, who serves as Sunday school director for the KBC. “The conferences are designed to help church staff, teachers and volunteers map out a ministry plan for the coming year and help move their ministries forward.”
According to Wilson, participants will benefit from new conference topics, expert speakers and networking opportunities at each event.
Training is available for leaders and volunteers in most areas of local church ministry, including assimilation, church architecture, Sunday school, stewardship, discipleship, evangelism, Woman’s Missionary Union, women’s ministry, worship and music, preschool/children, Baptist Men on Mission, finance, deacon ministry, ministers’ wives and secretaries.
Additionally, Hispanic ministry and church planting conferences will also be offered at the Lexington event, and small group and single adult ministry conferences will be offered at the Lexington and Louisville locations.
Super Saturday participants can customize their event experience by selecting from a variety of conferences throughout the day. Participants will select one Leadership Conference to receive in-depth training in their primary ministry area, and two afternoon conferences based on their interests and needs.
Super Saturdays begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m. Registration opens at 8 a.m., and lunch is provided.
Registration is required for all Super Saturday events. The cost to attend is $20 for those who register by the Monday before each event, or $30 after the Monday before each event.
