Workshop Offerings
New Leadership for a New World
taught by Tommy Nixon
Combining his years of experience running the non-profit, Solidarity, and his current role as Chief Executive Officer at Urban Youth Workers Institute, Tommy Nixon will lead a workshop based on his forthcoming book on leadership. This workshop will help individuals in various areas of leadership discover God’s plan for successful leadership and how to navigate the pitfalls of ministry growth, all while leading and reaching the next generation.
Kingdom Co-Labs
taught by Will Cumby
Will has a passion for connecting leaders and building collaborative events. This session will teach the mechanics of community partnership and asset mapping. There are pockets of resources in your community with everything you need to serve and empower your youth. Using the book, Rooting for Rivals, we will work through a strategic plan for community success led by your youth.
City-Specific Topic
taught by various leaders
Each city has specific needs and in order to make each stop unique we are bringing in leaders to speak about the concerns of your city. This is a collaborative conversation to set goals, create plans, and develop systems for change. Guest speakers are announced a couple of weeks before the event.
