Registration for the Church of the Brethren’s L.E.A.D. (Listen Equip Adapt Disciple) Conference is now open at www.brethren.org/dlf/lead-conference. This year’s conference is May 1-3 at Ephrata (Pa.) Church of the Brethren and also open to virtual attendees. The scripture theme is Hebrews 11:8, which talks about Abraham following God through unfamiliar territory—certainly an apt description of church leadership today!
Tod Bolsinger, author of Canoeing the Mountains, Tempered Resilience, and How Not to Waste a Crisis, will be the keynote speaker for the next Church of the Brethren L.E.A.D. (Listen – Equip – Adapt – Disciple) Conference.
Keynote speaker Dennis R. Edwards of North Park Theological Seminary, and preachers Etienne Nsanzimana of the Church of the Brethren in Rwanda and Jeff Carter of Bethany Theological Seminary, led the main sessions at the first-ever L.E.A.D. Conference of the Church of the Brethren on Nov. 15-17.
Early registration for the L.E.A.D. Conference will soon close on Oct. 1. The registration rate will go up to $125 per person after that date. However, for those registering five or more leaders from one congregation, the price remains at $79 per person.
“Leadership matters,” said an invitation to the L.E.A.D. Conference from Nate Polzin, executive director of the Church of the Brethren’s Discipleship and Leadership Formation which is sponsoring the event.
