The Rev. Jeunee Cunningham--Welcoming Guests and Incorporating Members

This session enables a congregation to recognize key elements in effective welcoming and incorporation, and will stimulate new ideas for designing and implementing a local welcoming and incorporation process.

The information is presented on two different tracts--one with a small church focus targeting congregations with an Average Sunday Attendance of 70 or less, and one with a larger church focus targeting those with an Average Sunday Attendance of 70 or more.

The Rev. George Martin--Using the Media for the Mission of Reaching People

The purpose of this seminar is to inspire and demonstrate the tremendous possibilities that every church has for inviting more people into the community of faith through affordable and creative media. Based on practical advertising principles and the Biblical foundations for evangelism, the session focuses on direct marketing, the power of door to door ministry and the importance of articulating your congregation's clear mission and direction.

The session is presented twice--once for smaller congregations (those with an Average Sunday Attendance of 70 or less) and once for larger congregations (those with an Average Sunday Attendance of 70 or more). By following two different tracts information and practices particularly relevant to a congregation's size can be presented.
