Lead. Equip. Train. Conference

Thank you for your interest in the Lead. Equip. Train. Conference—part of my doctoral project.

Dates: Thursdays – May 8, 15, and 22
Time: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Lunch will be INCLUDED)
Location: Great Commission Baptist Association Office:
6120 S Zero St, Fort Smith, AR 72903

Before we get started, I need to collect a few pieces of information from you.
This conference uses a flipped-classroom model:

  • You’ll watch very short, content-driven videos before each in-person session.
  • Our in-person gatherings will focus on hands-on, practical application based on what you learned in the videos.
 
As part of my doctoral requirements, participants are asked to complete a brief pre-assessment and post-assessment to help measure learning outcomes.
(Don’t worry—it’s quick and straightforward.)

After the conference concludes, I’ll also invite you to a follow-up coffee or lunch for an informal evaluation—both to encourage your ministry plans and to complete my project research.

I am incredibly grateful for your time and investment in this experience.
This project is a major step toward completing my doctorate, but more importantly, I believe it will offer real value for you and your church’s leadership development.

It is my sincere prayer that this conference will strengthen our churches and equip us for even greater gospel work ahead.
