Did you know that Saddleback had over 33,000 BRAND new salvations in 2021, https://saddleback.com/give/annual-review/2021/a-year-in-review Let me say that again, during COVID, Saddleback pivoted from their usual methods and repositioned themselves to help over 33,000 people meet Jesus for the first time. Saddleback doubled the size of their church during COVID, and you need to hear how. • You may also hear that Pastor Rick Warren is transitioning out, and boy wouldn’t you love to listen to the latest on how this is going. This is not the typical transition, as you may understand, but some of the guiding questions are not what you think and have given Saddleback such an openness to the move of the Spirit. The golden opportunity to learn from one of the most influential churches globally should add some value to your transition. • In addition to these fantastic storylines, David is passionate about hearing from other churches about their Discipleship focus/growth/direction. Many churches are amid profound redirection with their Discipleship efforts. Coming out of COVID is a great time to hear from others and their new approach with Discipleship. Extra Value for you to know about We will be breaking out everyone into smaller lunch groups. This allows for more concentrated efforts with a smaller group of colleagues. The Value of this is that you are getting great things from speakers, but now you have a smaller group of people you are connected with. The format/flow The format of this visit is NOT one way about Saddleback but a multiple-way conversation, exploring, and hearing from others who are also attending. No one wants to commit to time away for a single speaker format. David is committed to listening and learning from others. Not only will you hear about Saddleback, but you will be able to learn from dozens of other churches throughout the country. The mixed format will assure that you increase your network of colleagues and create more relational “life-lines” The benefits/wins/takeaways • Hear from and connect to one of the most influential churches • Increase your network of colleagues • A quick trip to get away from your local responsibilities • Tuesday evening, May 24th, the St Louis Cardinals have a home game against Toronto Blue Jays • Come early and sample of the best BBQ restaurants in the Midwest For questions about the Gathering, please contact Wade Olinger at 425-283-8499.
