We all realize our culture is changing—fast. As rectors, deacons, vestry members, and lay leaders, we all must consider how to adapt our sermons and services to reach our communities with the gospel without compromising the values and tradition we share.

This conference is all about helping you do just that: becoming not just aware of, but also wise to these cultural shifts and what you can do to respond, engage, and invite people into a relationship with Christ.

Our conference keynoter is the Rev. Dr. Alistair Petrie, a retired priest from the Anglican Church of Canada. He is a dynamic leader and the executive director of Partnership Ministries, a global ministry that teaches the principles and relevance of the gospel and its relation to the marketplace.

Partnership Ministries is focused on serving the 21st-century church and combines prayer and research to help prepare communities, cities, nations, and the marketplace for lasting revival, authentic transformation, and the release of kingdom culture. Check out www.partnershipministries.org.

The conference will also include a number of Best Practices workshops to address specific issues of church leadership and growth.

This conference historically fills to capacity, so early registration is recommended. Register online at www.canterburyretreat.org or call Canterbury at (407) 365-5571.
