Talking Points

Engaging the Church Planting Process 

Talking Points is a semi-annual forum designed to bring thoughtful perspectives on current ministry topics through presentation, dialogue and interaction. The spring event was titled, “Engaging the Church Planting Conversation”, and reflects the seminary’s commitment to provide a forum for people interested in dialoguing about how they might engage the ministry of church planting. This event was valuable for church planters, churches thinking about planting a church, and churches considering multiple venues. The keynote speaker was Jim Griffith, founder of Griffith Coaching Network.
