Do you ever go to large conferences and walk away thinking, “Man, I just wish I had more time to reflect and process with some of the folks I made friends with”?
We do too.
Which is why we started The Essential Church Learning Community (ECLC). Rather than hosting a large conference with big name speakers and lots of activity (we do love large conferences, mind you!), we wanted to create a more intimate and relational environment for like-minded and like-hearted pastors and leaders to gather and wrestle together with the challenges of ministry.
Twice a year we gather on the campus of New Life Church in sunny Colorado Springs for two days of robust discussion. Sessions involve a short presentation followed by table and large-group conversation centered on participants’ experiences and recommended best practices.
Join us for our remaining session in 2023: September 19-20 at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO.
You can register per session (February/September) or for both. Registration includes all meals and resources. Join us!
