The Trellis and The Vine Conference

The elders of The Vine recently want to a Trellis and the Vine conference in Chicago.  It was a great time. If you have not read the book one of these conferences would be a great idea.  The folks at the Desiring God blog recently recapped the conference that they attended.  You can access their posts below.  It would be great reading for anyone interested in discipleship and church leadership.

After two full weeks and four major cities, The Trellis and the Vine Workshop tour has come to an end. We were privileged to have the last one in Minneapolis yesterday and today.
Because we appreciate so much what Colin Marshall and Tony Payne have to say, we tried our best to share as much as we could by taking notes on each session:

• Session One: The Biblical Vision of Christian Ministry
• Session Two: Key Questions for Growing the Vine
• Session Three: Small Groups: Positively Dangerous?
• Session Four: Spiritual Parenting
• Session Five: Building Ministries Around People
• Session Six: Changing a Church Culture

For more information about the book The Trellis and the Vine (which prompted these workshops), you can readDavid Mathis' review from earlier this year.
