FRIDAY Pre-Conference Workshops
Discipleship by Design, Delanee Williams
A wise discipleship plan doesn’t happen by accident. In this conference, kids ministry leaders will learn the importance of laying spiritual foundations for kids and teaching biblical truths in age-appropriate ways. Participants will also discover how a thoughtful discipleship plan creates consistency, provides clear direction, and helps churches intentionally guide children toward lifelong faith. As kids grow, their understanding of foundational truths grows with them, equipping leaders to disciple children at every stage of development.
Evangelism Workshop, Zac Minton and Tim Walker
Sharing your faith can be fun and is definitely worth celebrating! Whether you need instruction, a refresher course, or just to be motivated by the enthusiasm of others come explore easy, practical and fun ways to share the gospel.
Speak Their Language: How to Reach Gen Alpha, Crystal Mazzuca
Gen Alpha is growing up in a fast, digital, and question-filled world—one where traditional approaches to evangelism often miss them. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how Gen Alpha thinks, what questions they’re really asking, and how to teach the gospel with language that leads to connection and understanding. Through hands-on exercises and real-life practice, you’ll gain practical tools to communicate truth clearly, answer tough questions confidently, and create meaningful moments of first-time understanding. Whether you’re a leader, volunteer, or parent, you’ll leave equipped to make the gospel both accessible and compelling for the next generation.
