Title: Creative Teaching
Presenters: Eric Hamp and John Tasch
Description: Join us for an exciting and motivational learning experience. We will demonstrate and educate in this workshop on how to make each experience with your children memorable and powerful. Creativity is defined as the power to create, to bring into existence something new or to produce with imaginative skill. We want to unlock the creativity that God has placed in each of you to energize your worship, teaching and activities. This hands-on Fast Track will have you on the edge of your seat and send you home with hundreds of new and fresh ideas. You will experience a live Children’s Church service, learn keys to leading children into worship, get object lessons from things around the house, and learn how to add games and activities that teach God’s word.
Title: Spiritual Formation in Our Children and Families
Presenters: Michelle Anthony
Description: Imagine a generation that knows God’s voice, desires to obey it and is doing so in the power of the Holy Spirit. If forming faith is what we’re about then what happens on the weekend is not the end goal. How do we engage with families so that we are equipping them to flex their faith muscles while exploring the biblical principles found in God’s design to pass faith down from generation to generation? The traditional approach to teaching assumes that we learn differently in the classroom than we do in real life. In actuality, the soul learns differently than the mind. Why is this and how can we teach God’s Word in such a way that lives are transformed and God’s amazing story is replicated in those we teach?
