| Next Generation Discipleship in Church Planting (Ryan Ross)
Scripture teaches us that children are a gift from the Lord entrusted to our care and stewardship. We’d like to help you develop a vision and strategy for advancing the kingdom in the next generation. Student & Kids Ministries shouldn’t simply be programs to be consumed by the church, but rather a vital part of the church making disciples of all generations. |

| Pastors, Develop Your Call As Leaders (Jason Conner & Jonathan Reeve)

How are pastors to lead the church in this new season to a place of health and growth? One thing is clear, what got you here will not get you there. Front Porch Foundation offers comprehensive assessments, contextual training, and tailored coaching so that pastors can lead with confidence, clarity, and heart. We’re offering assessment-training-coaching packages to breakout attendees that cover all costs. Spots are limited. |
