District Leadership Development Conference (DLD)

 

The Mobilized Church: How to Equip the Saints for Maximum Ministry

 

On March 3, 2008, the Western District hosted Dr. Rick Stedman at our most recent District Leadership Development (DLD) gathering. Dr. Stedman spoke on the power of loving people one at a time, how to reach the unchurched with God's love, and how to develop more volunteers than you will ever need. We are excited to be able to offer audio webcasts of all three sessions from that very enjoyable and informative conference. Click the link below to access the audio content.

 

Listen to webcasts of this and previous DLD's

 

Next DLD: November 3, 2008 Speaker & Location TBA


The great heritage of the Evangelical Free Church people around the world includes the fact that fellowship and ministry opportunities in the local church are based solely on one's personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, trusting in Him alone for salvation. Membership requires commitment to sound doctrine as expressed in our Statement of Faith. However, a person is not excluded from membership because he or she does not agree on every fine point of doctrine.

The primary role of the District and the District Superintendent is to be a supporting resource in the following key areas of responsibility or systems:
 

 

Verse of the Day

  • Church Health

  • Placement

  • Conflict Management and Resolution

  • Credentialing

  • Leadership Development (Pastoral and Lay)

  • Fellowship (Pastor to Pastor)

  • National and International Denominational Connection

  • Support Ministries (Age or Gender Specific Groups)

  • Church Planting

  • Finances

  • Partnerships

  • Urban and Intercultural Ministries

  • Theological Health & Development 


 

Our desire is that this website will provide pastors, lay people and churches greater and easier access to these systems and associated resources. Thank you for your partnership in this effort.
