Leading from where you are – how youth leaders can bring about change in the whole church
3B Laidlaw Lounge (Kitchen End) , Saturday 20 July 5:00-6:00pm, Great for Established and Key Leaders
Are you tired of hearing that children and young people are the future of the church…but you want the whole church to get behind the ministry and mission NOW? Enough talk…time for action! You can lead from where you are. You can be the change-maker your church needs! Discover how you can be the change the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand needs. We will talk about leadership, innovation, creativity, disruption and ecosystems that nurture mission. We will give it a go and move beyond our comfort zones because the Mission of God is too important to settle for status quo.

Working with volunteers
| 3C Laidlaw Lounge (Beach End), Saturday 20 July 5:00-6:00pm, Great for Key Leaders
Volunteer’s no longer just want to contribute. They want to be part of what is happening, make a difference and help shape the overall mission. This workshop will explore how to recruit the cause driven volunteer, lead them well rather than managing them and establishing a culture of power and passion within the team. |

Regional Staff Manager, National Training and Creative Coordinator
Digital Church
3D Church Prefab, Saturday 20 July 5:00-6:00pm
Many of us spend more than 11 hours interacting with digital devices each day. We need to consider what sort of digital experience we could or should offer and how to go about building a team to work on this.
Chris Lambourne
Chris has a background in doing new things. He worked to help get both SkyTV and TV3 launched in 1990. Later, at Television New Zealand Chris led out digital television “new media” services. Currently, Chris is running the Te Rā Power Mission Project that aims to improve the health and well-being of 1,500 low income people in Flaxmere by supplying cheap electricity from a solar farm. In Presbytery Central, Chris is the Convener of the Mission Resource Work Group. This group evaluates mission projects and allocates funding.
Connection – the gateway to transformation
3E Church Sanctuary, Saturday 20 July 5:00-6:00pm, Great for Emerging Leaders
The biggest need in a young person’s life is connection, and this is the first step to relationship. You cannot have a long-lasting relationship unless there is connection first. But you can have a good connection and no relationship – and that is okay too. In this workshop we will explore practical ways to build connection.
