I am really stoked about the gathering we are hosting for church planters November 2-3, Commissioned: Planting Healthy Churches on Purpose. Some of the reasons I am stoked:
- Rick Warren will be teaching on the nuts and bolts of planting a healthy church. He's working on brand new stuff building on the foundations learned over the last 30 years at Saddleback and working with 400,000 pastors around the world
- Ryan Meeks, the most successful church planter in America you've never heard of, will be sharing as well. His church, EastLake Church in Seattle, has grown from 7 to over 5000 attenders on 4 campuses since opening in 2005. Ryan's story and methods will rock your world.
- We are limiting the conference to no more than 300 attenders. That means church planters will actually be able to meet and hang out with the people they want to meet and hang out with. The "big" sessions will be in Saddleback's Refinery Theater instead of the massive Worship Center, so the setting will be intimate and informal rather than huge and stiff.
- We are making it super affordable. You can register this week for $99. Your spouse can come for free. We also have space for a few church planters to stay here, our beautiful Ranch in San Juan Capistrano for $20 a night. (email me for details) We are giving everyone who comes an updated, signed copy of The Purpose Driven Church.
- The gathering is just the beginnig. Our real goal is to see church planters connect, learn and support each other in community. (No one plants alone!) We will be launching the Commissioned Community for networking and connection. No cost, no obligation, just community.
- Southern California in November. Come on!
I would love to host you for this conference. I hope you will come see me.
