What is Best Practices for Ministry: Heartland?

With the goal of helping other congregations most effectively use their God-given gifts, Christ Lutheran Church in Phoenix, Arizona, started the Best Practices for Ministry Conference. Since it began, the conference has been presented free of charge to all who attend. Participants are greeted with warm hospitality, great speakers and practical workshops.

The Conference has grown greatly since its start, expanding to the Midwest in 2015, when Cornerstone Lutheran Church brought the concept of the conference to Indiana to make it more easily accessible to more congregations "in the Heartland". Since that time, "Best Practices for Ministry: Heartland" has also been hosted at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Columbus, Indiana, and St. Lorenz Lutheran Church in Frankenmuth, Michigan. This year, it's back at Cornerstone!

This free conference includes not just fabulous speakers and vendors, and a chance to connect with each other, but awesome meals and activities, too!

We can’t wait to see you for Best Practices in Ministry: Heartland!

Mark your calendar and check back this spring for registration!
