Revitalize Your Bible Study Ministry

The Group Essentials Conference is a FREE* two-day event that equips participants to revitalize their Bible study ministries by learning:

• principles for growing healthy Bible study groups
• best practices for enlisting and training workers
• the eight signposts that indicate group members are growing as disciples
• and more!

Plus, participants will develop a plan of action they can implement upon returning to their churches.

The sessions are led by Ken Braddy, Lifeway’s Director of Group Ministry. Ken has more than 25 years of experience leading education ministries in the local church and has led two to become the fastest-growing churches in two different states. He is an author, blogger, and conference leader.

Registration is limited, so sign up soon if you’re interested. Attendees receive a conference notebook, Bible, and three books related to Sunday School leadership—Breathing Life into Sunday School, Building a Disciple-making Ministry, and Breakthrough: Creating a New Scorecard for Group Ministry Success. During the conference, attendees will be given access to 17 different digital books and the accompanying plans to use in the church as training tools.
