Virginia District - Church Growth Workshop (Charlottesville)

February 21 | Lighthouse Charlottesville

Church growth doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by design.

Join us for one of three Church Growth Workshops the North American Missions department is hosting for the Virginia District. They are built specifically for pastors and ministry leaders who want clear, practical, and repeatable systems for outreach, guest assimilation, and discipleship. This one-day, action-oriented workshop is designed to help leaders move beyond ideas and into execution.

You’ll hear from experienced leaders who are actively implementing these systems in real church environments—and walk away with tools you can immediately apply in your local church.

• How to plan and execute an effective Harvest Service
• Simple, intentional systems for assimilating first-time guests
• Practical approaches to discipleship and leadership follow-up
• Real-world discussion around church growth challenges and solutions
• Time for Q&A and leadership dialogue
