Singles Leadership Retreat:
It's Time to Register

Picture

No matter how many single adults you have, no matter how big your church or  ministry is, leadership development is always going to be a struggle.

Does this sound familiar? Where do I find great leaders? Every time I build my team, they all get married? They don't seem to want to commit. Where can I find some training for them? Sometimes I just want to quit?

Well, at the Navigate Leadership Retreats and Conferences, you will not only be around others who are leading and pastoring singles, but you will also get to share, connect and learn about the latest resources for single adult ministry. So don't delay...Register today!

Two great locations for 2012:
August 16-18, Gatlinburg, TN
(Led/Hosted Kris Swiatocho, Pastor Freddy Johnson)
September 13-15, Alexandria, LA (Led/Hosted by Kris Swiatocho/Pastor Matt Day)

Metro Single Pastors Conference, Tampa, FL, June 17-21

Picture
The Metro Singles Pastor's Conference has long stood the test of time. It's designed to be a more intimate gathering of singles pastors where the agenda is more relaxed. It's a conference where you make up some of the rules. Get up when you want, go to bed when you want, take the time you need to talk to other pastors, and just take the time. The goal is for you to leave feeling refreshed, renewed, reconnected and re-focused.

Since September, the Singles Ministry bore a lot of fruit due to eleven baptisms and a restoration.  With the Spirit leading us to be the pacesetters, and to lose the stigma of singles in the church as being leftovers who are incapable of doing anything but the menial behind the scenes tasks, or simply take up space.  Read More

Romans 1: 18-20 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,  since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
