The Lifeway “Essentials Bootcamp” is an excellent opportunity for pastors to take the next step in ministry training. The bootcamp will be led by David Apple from Lifeway who will be training church leaders on best practices in growing your church through developing your Sunday School or small group ministries. We encourage pastors to bring other leaders from their church (or even those they see have the potential to become leaders) to begin discussions about moving your church forward in healthy ways to have an impact on your community.
The Essentials Bootcamp will be at First Family Church in Ankeny on Saturday, March 2nd, from 10:00am – 2:00pm.
Register by emailing Chris McRae.

get ready to get wild!
this summer’s lifeway vbs is “in the wild“
Throw on your camera strap and buckle your seatbelt. VBS 2019 takes you on a wild adventure—with elephants and egrets, polar bears and penguins, cockatoos and crocodiles. As you seek out exotic animals, you’ll also find snapshots of real-life encounters with Jesus in Scripture. Kids go from bewildered to believing as they get In The Wild at this summer’s VBS.

Help your church consider how to use VBS as outreach to the kids in your community. Think about the impact of lessons about encounters with Jesus on the young lives in your neighborhood and how families can be drawn to Jesus through ONE exciting week.

Join your BCI VBS Training team at one of two trainings offered in February to learn how YOUR CHURCH can host VBS and impact lives.
