Willow Creek Website: Conference SiteCONFERENCE DESCRIPTION God designed us to live life together. That’s why group life is the heartbeat of the church. This year’s Group Life Conference: Essential for the Human Heart—our 10th since first introducing it in 1998—will help you and your team keep that heartbeat strong by rediscovering the Kingdom-advancing principles of biblical community.
This conference is ideal for anyone at your church who is involved in community life — from pastors to volunteer group leaders, from the traditional church with a small-group ministry to the emerging church built entirely on small groups. Those who attend will not only learn from some of the world’s most experienced group life experts, but will have networking and training opportunities with immediate ministry application.
The Willow Creek Association is partnering with Church Communication Network (CCN) to broadcast portions of this year's Group Life Conference via satellite to selected simulcast sites across America. The broadcast includes all main sessions with Bill Donahue, John Burke, Mark Batterson and Heather Zempel, Will Miller, and Miles McPherson; PLUS two featured breakouts with Russ Robinson and Mindy Caliguire.
Compressing the two and one-half day conference experience into a Friday evening, all-day Saturday format will allow many to experience the Group Life Conference for the first time. By attending the conference locally, many volunteers will be able to catch the vision for Group Life and learn practical leadership skills without taking time from work and incurring travel and housing expense.
Point Leaders can encourage their whole team to experience the Group Life Conference. Small Group leaders, apprentices, and potential leaders can easily attend together. Pastors, elders, and other interested church leaders can also catch the vision for Group Life without a time-consuming trip to Chicago.
