To be effective over the long haul, your team needs to be committed to each other and to making a difference through the use of creative arts in your church. The experiences you'll share at the Arts Conference offer your team an opportunity to draw closer together and build a bank of positive memories to draw on when ministry gets tough. Many teams comment on how helpful it is to walk away with a common language and a new set of learnings they can refer back to and build on in the future.
In between sessions, during meals, and in the evenings, you'll have uninterrupted time to process what you've heard and learned, and to begin making practical applications to your specific church and community.
For an unforgettable team-building opportunity, sign up for Art in the City on Thursday night. A limited number of seats for Chicago arts experiences have been secured for conference guests. Tickets for these events will go quickly, even with the additional cost on top of your conference registration. Transportation and a box supper are available so teams can enjoy a low-stress evening of high-quality entertainment.
On Thursday evening, your team can choose instead to sit back and enjoy a free Film Festival at the Willow Creek facilities. The Film Festival will present the best offerings in film and video by church ministries around the country—an opportunity for both inspiration and entertainment. You'll leave affirmed by the quality of artistic work being created by and for the church, and brimming with new ideas for your own efforts.
