Join our guest speaker Dave Ferguson, Pastor of Community Christian Church in Naperville, IL, in a discussion of what it would look like when the Church empowers Christians to leverage their strengths and passions and be entrepreneurial about spreading the Gospel. Dave’s stories of people who have gotten “out of the box” in how they live out their faith will inspire you to re-think how your church reaches your local community.

From church chefs feeding the homeless to bringing the Gospel to the local pub, churches are empowering their members to take ownership of their evangelical responsibilities and seek out how they can use their gifts, passions and talents to live out the Great Commission.

Don’t miss this opportunity to have your horizons stretched and your pre-conceived notions challenged!
