Inspire. Train. Connect.
Michael Sickles and Madison Walter from Back2Back Cincinnati share about The Holistic Coaching model.

The Lord gave us sabbath and sabbatical as gifts. A sabbatical well planned, funded, supported, experienced, and reported on can refresh and renew a person’s soul, family, and ministry. Join Rev. Dr. Jason Leininger who will share resources, perspectives, and planning tools to plan, experience, and re-enter a sabbatical well and whole.
A lifestyle of redistribution confronts the unjust distribution of our economic, social, educational, and relational resources. It breaks down our systems of poverty & oppression and decreases the economic disparity in our communities. Our communities are then able to flourish. Join Charles Cheek to learn more about redistribution.
The principle of empowerment affirms a person’s God-given dignity and agency for that person to use their giftings to contribute to the flourishing of the community. Join Adriana Gomez-Schelhaas to learn more about the principle of Empowerment.
Christian Community Development practitioners are committed to listening to their neighbors, living in community, and hearing their dreams, ideas and thoughts. By actively listening, together we can identify community assets, opportunities, and needs. Together we then cultivate, implement and benefit from a shared vision for our community.

We want to reflect on the personal influences/experiences, the key intellectual shifts, and ministry drives that formed both Dr. Rene Padilla and Dr. John M. Perkins. We want to understand what shapes their ministry philosophies and how they tried to "practice what they preach."
Learning common grant writing and fundraising practices cannot come without some analysis of best practices, some of which are rooted in white supremacy and paternalism. Together, we will reimagine fundraising practices that are rooted in equity and dignity for all God’s people and generate change for our organizations and communities.
The most important ingredient for community transformation is leadership. Yet most ministries do not have an intentional process to grow leaders and teams. Solid leadership within an urban ministry organization is critical for sustainability. Dr. Alvin Sanders shares from his 30 years of leadership development experience of how to strategically grow, strengthen, and build leaders and teams.
The culture of your organization will far outlast your time as part of it. Whether in an established ministry with a long legacy or a startup non-profit, you must consider the culture you are creating and fostering for sake of those you work with and serve. In this workshop, Emanuel (Ricky) Padilla will provide a framework for reading your existing culture, identifying points of interest, and changing with targeted proposals. It will prepare you to start creating a new, healthy culture for your organization.
Since the murder of George Floyd, many organizations have created statements, made a commitment to racial equity and professed to explore the necessary changes needed for inclusive workplaces. Despite these efforts, real change must be intentional and requires more than conversations but acknowledgement of the transgressions, real and honest introspection with all impacted, the review and revision of policies and an examination of the organizational culture. In this session, learn more about how your organization can move beyond talk to transformation.
