Topics and Speakers
Our modern world presents great challenges and great opportunities to share the love and message of Jesus. We have the message, God’s guidance and strength. All that is needed are motivated and equipped servants. The TRU Ministry Conference is designed to meet that need.
TRU is a 2-day conference for Christians of all ages, experiences, abilities and responsibilities to Grow, Give, Go and GLORIFY. It’s for leaders, preachers, parents, men, women, EVERYONE who is ready to make an impact for Jesus in their community. It’s for churches of all sizes who are ready to take their congregation to the next left of service.
Topics will range from leadership to new ways to engage the local community to the nuts and bolts of a variety of ministries. TRU is not a lectureship. There will be more than twenty different sessions led by some of the most experienced and creative teachers around. There will be inspirational general sessions and breakout sessions dealing with a variety of relevant and practical topics. It is a way for the Lord’s workers to share knowledge, experiences, ideas, and successes.
