Building Community Through Student Small Groups
Getting today's youth into church and keeping them there is a challenge that takes more than the same old youth groups. To form a genuine community, students need to connect with each other and with God. They need to feel secure, understood, and accepted. They need a group that ministers to them on multiple levels -- and they need a place where they have the opportunity to minister.
Bo Boshers, Willow Creek Association's Vice President for Student Ministries, will show you how to measure the success of your student small groups, and will give you a prescription for developing groups with healthy vital signs. You'll learn how to make your groups multi-functional:
Care Center - for crisis and long-term care
Party Center - for fun and fellowship
Fitness Center - for spiritual workouts
Discovery Center - for learning spiritual gifts
Launching Pad - for dreaming and learning about God's plan for their lives
Join us on June 11th and let Bo show you how to keep students coming back for more!

Teamwork in Church Leadership
Whether you pastor a large church or a small one, you face the challenge of working with your staff and lay leaders to provide cohesive leadership as a team. This requires developing a culture of effective teamwork within your church. The most important ingredient in building teams at your church is building healthy relationships.
On Thursday, May 16th, Wayne Cordeiro, Senior Pastor of New Hope Christian Fellowship in O'ahu, Hawaii will be sharing with our viewers the essential requirements for teamwork and the importance of relationships within the church, as a living, breathing organism. Besides sharing the foundational principles of teamwork, Pastor Wayne will also be providing practical applications, complete with detailed illustrations and a close look at key processes.

How People Grow in Small Groups: Part One
Small groups within the church serve as important venues for personal spiritual growth by providing support, healing, confrontation, correction, teaching, and modeling in a Christ-centered community. As its small group members grow and thrive, a church grows as well, making the small group model both a life-changing and church-changing force.
In this training session for small group leaders and facilitators, Dr. HENRY CLOUD will present the fundamental mechanics of building small groups that promote spiritual growth. He'll discuss the basic ingredients of growth, and outline what every successful small group must provide, no matter what type of group it is. He'll also offer guidance on things to avoid, help small group leaders with troubleshooting, and provide workable ideas that small group leaders can put into practice right away.
Many of the most successful churches in America have built their strength on the undergirding of small groups. This seminar will show why small groups are "where the rubber meets the road" spiritually and how churches can capitalize on them. Dr. Cloud's follow-up seminar on September 19 will build on these foundational principles to give pastors and leaders an ongoing game plan for small groups.

Using Learning Styles to Reach Everyone you Teach
Each person has a unique approach to learning. When we are taught in ways that honor our preference, we learn faster, enjoy learning more and are more likely to put what we learn into practice. For too long, volunteer teachers and parents have assumed that all the best minds learn in similar ways. Mistake! And, when we make that mistake, we lessen the potential of our children, teens and even adults.
This session will encourage participants to identify their preferred style. More importantly, they will identify the learning styles that are least like their own. Students with these styles will most likely not thrive in their classes. This session will make teaching more difficult--perhaps! But it will also make our teaching much more effective. Practical! Fun! And easy to put into practice next Sunday! (And here's a little extra: Most of us marry our opposite and spend the rest of our lives trying to make that person think right! Knowing about learning styles is great for your marriage!

The A-Men Project: Called To Be Warriors
Discipleship training especially for the men of your church!
Why focus on men? Pastor Jack Hayford says, "As the men go, so goes the church." THE A-MEN PROJECT will equip the men of your church to be the leaders that God intended them to be.
Using a comprehensive approach, the A-MEN PROJECT broadcast will feature two vital components: discipleship, and prayer and worship. Men will gather at churches across North America for a 90 minute live satellite broadcast to pray together, praise God together, and hear a message from inspirational speakers. Then, offline, men will gather for 30 minutes in small groups to wrestle with spiritual issues and to encourage one another.
For the remaining Saturdays of the month, men will have the opportunity to meet weekly for follow-up sessions using materials and worksheets provided by THE A-MEN PROJECT. These materials will help your men dig deeper and adopt basic standards and values that will help them become more effective disciples of Jesus Christ.

Preaching That Connects
IMPORTANT NOTE- Dr. Robert Smith was not able to be a part of this show due to illness. As a result we added a portion with Kevin Miller and Stanley Long that do not appear in the outline. Please note that Dr. Smith's portion of the outline did not appear in the broadcast.
Your sermon time is a key opportunity to let God speak through you to impact the souls of your people. In today's society, connecting with your congregation is a challenge every preacher must face. How can you make the truths of God's Word applicable to the realities of contemporary culture? How can you connect with today's hearers to feed, inspire, and equip them?
On Tuesday, January 22, a panel of expert practitioners will bring to CCN the answers they have developed in response to these questions. Lon Allison, John Ortberg, and Kevin Miller will train you and your preaching team to effectively connect with your contemporary hearers. Using video examples from outstanding preachers around the country, our experts will each offer proven principles and practical suggestions to help you maximize your effectiveness. In addition, in a special videotaped segment, Haddon Robinson will share his expertise in the area of bridging from the Bible to contemporary application.
Then, in a roundtable discussion moderated by Lon Allison, our presenters will share ideas and discuss what makes for successful preaching. During our live Q&A session, you'll have the opportunity to direct your questions to the speakers and to benefit from the questions asked by your peers around the country

The Case For Christ
Mark your calendars! LEE STROBEL of Saddleback Church and MARK MITTELBERG of Willow Creek Association return live to CCN with a special Sunday evening program based on Lee's bestselling book THE CASE FOR CHRIST. In the first part of the program, Lee will retrace his journey from atheism to faith. The former Chicago Tribune legal editor will recount how, with a journalist's tenacity, he questioned Christian scholars and experts with tough, point-blank questions: How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual historical event? He'll share how his search brought him to this conclusion: Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God.
Then, with the help of satellite technology and telecommunications, Lee and Mark (author of BECOMING A CONTAGIOUS CHRISTIAN) will team up to field questions from viewers around the country. Therefore, your church will have a chance to fax, email, or call in questions to Lee and Mark. They'll give honest answers to seekers' tough and sensitive questions while equipping the faithful to "answer for the hope they have in them."

Grief and Crisis Counseling: Ministering to the Hurting
The terrifying and heartbreaking events of September 11 have put our country into a state of profound vulnerability and grief. Church leaders felt the impact immediately, as people began arriving on church doorsteps even while the attacks were underway.
Every person in America has been affected by this unprecedented tragedy, and the threat continues. Do you understand the depth of trauma and crisis your people are experiencing? Are you equipped to debrief those shocked and hurt by the recent events, and to prepare people for any coming loss, crisis or trauma?
Norm will deal with these questions in his straightforward, sensitive manner, and will offer practical help for pastors and lay leaders. In the weeks since the tragedy, he has been travelling across the country conducting emergency training sessions and seminars; on November 15 he will bring his experience and wisdom to the CCN network.

Spiritual Gifts: Aligning Your Ministry To Your People
Do you believe that each of the people in your church was brought there by God for a reason? Most of us would say yes and continue with business as usual. Bruce Bugbee wants to go further. He wants to help church leaders and people live that affirmation radically, because he wants you and the people you serve to experience the power that results when you lead the right people into the right places for the right reasons. Most of us figure a church leader's job is to find ministries the church should do and then seek people who can be made to fit those ministries. But that's backwards, according to Bugbee. What's more, it isn't even scriptural. This seminar will introduce the Network Ministries system and why it makes sense for any church. You'll learn about: - the difference between just using people and equipping your people to follow their gifts and their passion - a proven way to assess spiritual gifts, passion, and personal style in yourself and others - Leadership C.A.R.E. (Calling, Assimilating, Retaining, Exiting) and how it can help you be a more effective leader of a more effective church with less risk of burnout.

The ABC's of Postmodern Christianity
Have you taken time to consider the big picture lately? The fact is, our "world" is in the midst of rapid changes that affect everything we do, especially our church experience. Len Sweet says that most people over thirty think like "immigrants" in today's fast paced culture, while people under 30, who grew up with all the changes, are now the "natives".

Mentoring
"Go make disciples? Sorry, haven't got the time." That is the sad truth in our churches today. Yet in thriving churches, "life on life investment" is the substance of healthy relationships. Mentoring is intentionally investing yourself in another person for kingdom purposes. Few have mentored more people than former pastor Tim Elmore. Now Director of Leadership Development for John Maxwell's EQUIP, Tim will teach you how to establish a mentoring network at your church that fosters life on life investments" with incredible kingdom returns.

Understanding and Reaching the New Senior Adult
Given the "age wave" that is sweeping the US, few church leaders are aware of the significant potential for focused outreach and ministry to older adults. The generation of new seniors is a far different cohort than previous senior adult generations. Yet many churches are trying to pour new wine into wineskins by doing "the same old things for the same old people." No wonder few churches are successfully reaching these fields that are white unto harvest. Our approach is not the traditional gerontological model of aging for older adult ministry. Rather, it is a new paradigm for a new millennium. I have taught a number of seminary classes and led workshops on the variety of issues related to effective ministry and outreach for today's new seniors.
