2009 Conspire Conference
March 18-20th, 2009

Effectively reaching out to the kids in your ministry means investing in them right now, while caring about the students and adults they will become. Research shows that 60% of "churched" kids are walking away from their faith some time in their twenties. What can we do today to impact children and empower parents in a way that will stay with them as they mature?

Join us March 18-20, 2009 as together we imagine the future for our children. It’s going to take all of us – all of our experiences, education, convictions, gifts and most importantly our passion to imagine new ways of reaching children for Jesus Christ.

Plan now to bring your entire team of children’s ministry leaders and volunteers to Conspire 2009. Powerful main sessions will connect you with God and others as you dream of creative, relevant and powerful ways to impact your children’s ministry.

Practical training experiences will encourage you to take your skills to the next level. Plus, you’ll experience it all in community with children’s ministry leaders just like you – people with vision and the passion for today and tomorrow.

Conspire 2009: Connect and Inspire for the sake of each child.
