February 16 - 17, 2012 - Winter Conference
Mount Olivet Retreat Center Map
Plan to attend the annual 2-day winter conference. It will not only be educational, but will be an excellent opportunity to get to know your colleagues better and network with people who experience the same day-to-day challenges you face.

Are you a “Woo?” A “Maximizer?” An “Arranger?” Using Strengthsfinder, an online assessment, you’ll discover if these are among your top five strengths and talents. Once you know, how do you apply them?
Join your fellow church business administrators as Phill Martin, Deputy CEO of the National Association of Church Business Administration, coaches us building on our top five themes and developing a personal action plan.
During the conference, we will have ample opportunities to network, share our experiences as church business administrators and refresh our ministry with devotion and prayer. Hear practical advice to reshape the way you serve and improve the performance of your church.
Come and be equipped with the tools of positive attitudes, skills, and strategies you need to become an influential leader and follower in a God-honoring way.
