We are SO EXCITED about the 3rd annual “School for Practical Ministry”, Friday & Saturday, April 17-18, 2020, at Altoona United Methodist Church! Those who have attended in the past have universally declared it to be the BEST training event in Iowa they attend all year long, and one that gives them the most PRACTICAL ideas and inspiration to take back to their local churches and incorporate into their personal ministries!
TRULY it is two days full of wonderful teaching, Holy Spirit-led worship, and loving fellowship - and all centrally located in a community and facility that is easily accessible from any place in Iowa! And by moving from a Thursday/Friday schedule to a Friday/Saturday schedule, it has become even MORE accessible to the laity in our churches!
Our brochure with the full schedule, including information about the workshops and teachers, is available for download HERE.
We are MOST excited to welcome our Keynote Speaker, Rev. Dr. Carolyn Moore! Her keynote address is titled, "Spiritual Leadership and Your Identity Inside His 'I Am',”and her teaching includes five sessions that are designed with hope in mind. In her own words, "Through them, we will steep in the absolute necessity of knowing who we are in Christ; the call to supernatural ministry (beyond good social work); what it means to walk in Spirit-given power and authority; the importance of reclaiming Paul's core offices in structuring the church (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, and Teacher); and the sustaining work of personal holiness rooted in the spiritual disciplines. Our goal will be to remember and rekindle our influence as those sent by God to welcome and advance the Kingdom of God on earth."
Carolyn is also the Vice Chairperson of the global Wesleyan Covenant Association leadership council, and she recently wrote a blog post giving five reasons to join the WCA. We encourage you to read it HERE.
Need another reason to join the WCA? Here’s one closer to home (feel free to share it with YOUR church and others!)
In Christ’s love,
The Communications team of the Iowa WCA
