Worskshops

The "I wills" of the Lord - Isaiah 41:10. Our Lord has promised to help, strengthen, and uphold us daily, in every situation we face. As women called to serve in ministry and to be the helpmate to our husbands, we recognize our deep need for more of the Holy Spirit to fulfill these divine responsibilities faithfully and effectively.

Tuesday 2:40 | Sanctuary

Join us for a practical, conversation-driven workshop to help church leaders stay ahead in 2025. We’ll unpack the latest legal updates affecting ministries, discuss timely HR and handbook updates, and explore what’s happening in the liability and insurance space — including how the “Three C’s” can keep you proactive, not reactive.

We’ll also compare today’s top electronic giving platforms and consider whether now is the time to partner with a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) to lighten your HR load and potentially improve staff benefits and church savings.

Come ready to learn, ask questions, and connect with others facing the same challenges and opportunities in church leadership.

Tuesday 2:40 | Youth Room/Modular

"The church is commanded to disciple believers (Mat. 28:19). Because of this we at Calvary Castle Rock have developed a book focused on many of the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. We will be providing an introduction to the book and covering an overview of the contents. We will also be discussing best practices on how to establish a discipleship program for each church.

Chuck Smith often said, “Strong sheep multiply”. Discipled sheep become strong."

Tuesday 2:40 | Sanctuary

We will be covering all aspects of service missions — from initial planning and logistics to on-the-ground execution — whether you're serving in your local community or reaching out to the farthest corners of the globe.

Wednesday 3:25 | Youth Room/Modular

Explore how intentional stewardship and thoughtful AV investments can powerfully advance your church’s mission. Join Michael Millington, founder of Eternal Currency, as he shares insights gained from over 15 years in church leadership to equip decision makers with practical strategies for wise stewardship in AV decisions. This interactive session will clarify the difference between merely cutting costs and investing wisely in ministry-focused technology. Learn about the hidden consequences of inadequate AV solutions and discover a collaborative design approach that aligns technology choices closely with your church’s unique mission and budget. Whether you’re leading a small congregation or a growing church community, you’ll gain practical insights and greater clarity to confidently steward resources in ways that truly enhance your ministry’s impact.

Wednesday 3:25  | Sanctuary

How an Inclusion (Special Needs) Ministry can create a safe and loving environment for kids of all abilities to grow in their relationships with Jesus in an accessible way, and the fruit that can come from welcoming all children into your Children's Ministry classrooms. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
