EQUIP GATHERINGS AND BIOS

Friday 1:30   Equip Gathering 1
 

  Churches Caring for Churches / Sanctuary

How can we cooperate together in God’s mission, God’s message, and God’s mandate for us as a family of churches? This session will explore the dynamics of collaboration and present a challenge to all CNBC churches to care for one another so that we can participate more fully in making disciples for the glory to God.

DR GARTH LENO is the CNBC National Team Leader for Pastor Care. In 2013, Garth and his wife Patty started a Bible study in their home in Windsor, Ontario. It grew quickly and the following year they planted The Gathering Church with help from the Send Network. Prior to The Gathering, the Lenos served in several local churches in Canada and the U.S.  They have three children and five growing grandchildren.

  The Blessing of Unity / Sanctuary

In many places in our society, unity seems to be in short supply. We say we want it, but in the church, what kind of unity are we looking for? In this breakout session, we will answer that critical question, strategize and pray toward unity, and marvel at the blessing God gives to His united people.

SCOTT D MACDONALD serves as associate professor of theology with the Canadian Baptist Theological Seminary and College in Cochrane, Alberta. Scott is married to Michal, and they have four children - Malachi, Adelaide, Isaiah, and Aliza.

The Key Elements for Living the Gospel / Fellowship Hall
