What can Concord do to reach our world for Christ? Not as much alone as we can in partnership with other like-minded churches. How do our convictions as a congregation help us to wisely evaluate and establish such partnerships? At our upcoming mini-conference on Sunday, March 2, guest speaker Nate Akin will help us understand the value of forging strategic partnerships in the gospel. 

Morning Session:
Characteristics of Healthy Cooperation (10:30 am)

Afternoon Session 1:
What We Hold Dear and Why (3:30 pm)

Afternoon Session 2:
Tough-Skinned & Tender-Hearted Baptists (4:45 pm)

Dinner Q&A: On the Pillar Network (6 pm)


The cost of the mini-conference is free for our members, but reservations are required for our meal preparation. Other registered guests can contribute $5 at the dinner. Register here or by calling the church office (423-892-9313).

Childcare will be provided for pre-K and below (the Chronicle printed an error), but we will need you to provide more details during the registration process so we can prepare in advance. We welcome kids into the afternoon sessions. We expect it to be a very relaxed atmosphere for families.

We're excited to have our friend, Chap Bettis, to join us for this mini-conference that will help equip parents, grandparents, and other leaders of children for the amazing task of discipling the next generation.
