GCM Break-Out's Announced

Today I got to speak at a NorthWood/V360 church planter roundtable lunch, about things I learned during our first year of church planting. It was fun to look back at how far we've come since our first core gathering last September 13. Later this week I'll post the thoughts I shared. But one thing that kept coming to mind as I reflected on this past year was the great training I got to experience. And as I looked around the table at new folks, filled with questions and excitement, I couldn't help but want them to experience some of the same training, from some of the same folks I got to train with.

Conveniently, many of those men are headed to Texas next month, and in addition to sharing vision from the main stage at the GCM conference, they'll be sharing hands-on, practical steps toward living as gospel communities on mission in break-out sessions. Here's the list of breakouts that will happen Oct 28-30 in Austin:

Breakout #1:

• Gospel Conversations on Mission Jeff Vanderstelt
• Gospel Counseling in Community Steve Timmis
• Discipleship Within a Community on Mission Jonathan Dodson
• What is the Gospel? David Fairchild

Breakout #2:

• Practical Missional Ecclesiology Drew Goodmanson
• The Story of God: Teaching through Story and Dialog Caesar Kalinowski
• Starting and Multiplying Missional Communities Jonathan Dodson
• GCM: Why Everyone HAS to Do It Steve Timmis
• Viral Churches Ed Stetzer

Breakout #3: 

• Tri-Perspectival Leadership Model and Practice David Fairchild & Drew Goodmanson
• Church Planting with GCM DNA Jonathan Dodson
• From Missional Communities to Church Plant Caesar Kalinowski
• Porterbrook Steve Timmis & Matt Adair
• Preaching the Gospel & Mission in Every Message Jeff Vanderstelt 

I can't emphasize my excitement for this gathering of church, organizational, & missional leaders; neither can I emphasize the benefit you'll gain from 100+ of years of collective wisdom and experience in the weekend's leaders!
