Bored* Member, Church and Change



Bored* Member, Church and Change, WELS Pastor Ski, formerly at St. Marcus, Milwaukee


From His Blog

What is Drive ’08? That’s a great question. Drive is a two day conference for church leaders. During these two days church leaders from the three North Point campuses will share what they have learned over the last twelve years about creating and maintaining awesome ministry environments. The entire conference has been designed around questions from churches all over the world.

Over the two days Andy Stanley (Lead Pastor at North Point) will address the attendees in three main sessions. There will be five break-out sessions that will revolve around questions asked by the attendees. These sessions allow those in attendance to get pretty specific on certain areas of ministry as well as get great feedback.

I invite you to check out my blog while I’m gone. I’ll try to update the blog daily and share what I’ve learned. Please feel free to share your comments.
I’ll see you all when I get back!

Blessings,

ski

*Bored with Lutheran worship, bored with Lutheran doctrine, he drops everything to go spend days with a Babtist minister. The Bored Members of Church and Change must have made a deal. Ski's bunch (Buske, Parlow) went to hear Babtist Andy Stanley. Patterson's group (Doebler, Stelljes, etc) sat at the feet of Babtist Ed Stetzer.

Stetzer has the biggest unionistic congregation of all. He only preaches to preachers of all denominations. And they are dumb enough to pay him for the honor of being his diciples (as he spells the word).
