Walking the Wire – 5 Keys to Finding Balance in Ministry
Ed Babcock, Rexville, NY
Author & Speaker, Ed Babock Consulting
This seminar is for Pastors
In an article in Practical Leadership; 5 Ways To Balance Family and Church Ministry; Matthew Fretwell says; “80% of pastors believe pastoral ministry has negatively affected their families.” Fretwell lists family as one of the five motivations for leaving the ministry. Stress, burnout and depression can often be directly tied to the balancing act Pastors and church leaders go through as they try to be both effective Servant-leaders and dynamic family-focused people. We will be offering a guided study as we look at both the hazards and the victories for those who fulfill their calling to both church and family.

Don’t Pass the Baton – Pass the Torch
Jay Trainer, Spencerport, NY
National Media Director, CSB Ministries
This seminar is for Seasoned Men (ages 55+)
As the church has been focusing on a new generation and targeting their programs and emphasis on what they call the future, we are missing the greatest wealth in the church and country—our seniors. Over the years we have told our seniors to step aside while we focus on the younger generations. Tragically, our seniors have done just what we have asked to do. When a runner passes the baton, he quits running and is required to get off the track. Nowhere in God’s word does it tell us to quit. This workshop will provide insights into strategies and resources for engaging our seniors in the raising up of a new generation of leaders.
