Conference Overview

Welcome!

Ancient-Future Community is the 2007 Group Life Conference of the Willow Creek Association, held September 27-29 2007 at the Willow Creek campus near Chicago. Scot McKnight, Will Miller, Henry Cloud, Bill Donahue, Alan Hirsch, Ron Martoia, Mark Buchanan and more than 3,000 international ministry leaders join together for three days of challenging and inspiring group sessions and nearly 100 breakouts.

 

 

Ancient-Future Community

For the first 300 years, the church didn’t have small groups – it was small groups. That’s why the Group Life Conference looks at the ancient foundations of community life, modeled by Jesus Christ and the early church.

Churches must also reach out to embrace the future – from neighborhood gatherings and house churches, to compassion-focused small groups, and even virtual communities. We explore innovative and emerging forms of communal life in the church while offering practical training to strengthen your existing groups and ministries.

On this site you'll find page after page of information, speaker bios and downloadable resources related to the conference. Come on in!
