Keynote Information

We are very excited to have Kelly Fryer as keynote speaker for the Discipleship Matters Conference. Kelly's books, especially Reclaiming the "L" Word: Renewing the Church from its Lutheran Core and Reclaiming the "C" Word: Daring To Be Church Again have had a transforming effect on our congregation. She inspires and challenges us to rethink what it really means to be church.

Member or Disciple (Pastor John Herman)
What's the difference between the membership and discipleship models of church and why it is important to the mission of the Church.

Towards a Deeper Discipleship (Kelly Fryer)
“Daring to focus” through prayer, to discern the mission and connect to God’s will, and “daring to set people free” with the empowerment that comes through the priesthood of all believers.

Learning to be church in here so that we can be the church out there (Kelly Fryer)
Explore the connectiveness that comes between the nourishment of Word, sacrament, study and support within the church that drives us to service in the world, which in turn blesses us as we bless others. It is by going out that we become part of the true mission of the church.

Ten Principles for Renewal (Kelly Fryer)
Ten things every church leader should know about church renewal.
