Church Planter's Connection

Join us at the Northwest Conference office for our monthly group coaching and peer mentoring time for church planters. The gathering will begin at Noon and end at 2 p.m. We come together each month to have a conversation around the issues that each of you are facing in your ministries. Our monthly Connection event is designed to include conversation around key topics, prayer for one another, peer mentoring, resourcing and coaching. Our goal is to provide you with the best resources available, along with helpful speakers, and tools you can use. We appreciate you making these events a priority in your busy lives. You need each other and the statistics show that this is one of the activities that results in a more fruitful ministry.

Ministerial Association Retreat

The NWC Ministerial Association Retreat for pastors, church ministry staff and spouses, will be held Oct. 4-6, 2010, at Cragun’s Resort in Brainerd, MN. Our theme will be “Living a Powerful Story.” While last year’s retreat had a competency theme, this year’s focus will be on constancy in ministry, as Paul and Kathy Wilson lead us through an experience of discernment into God’s Big Story, our personal stories and the stories which God is yet to write.
