It is official - Jon Acuff, creator of the StuffChristiansLike.net blog will be a keynote speaker at MinistryCOM this year. If you’re not familiar with Jon’s blog you should check it out, it is hilarious.

Jon will be joining Mike Foster, founder of XXX Church; Scott Hodge, pastor of Orchard Valley Community Church; and Dawn Nicole Baldwin, founder of Aspire!One.

As usual, you can expect great things from these speakers. God continues to bring incredible speakers to us every year. In addition to the keynotes, we have 12 other breakout speakers presenting workshops on communications tactics, strategies — and even how to cope with working for a church!

Check the Workshops page for all the details.

MinistryCOM 2008 - Living on the Edge

ministrycom — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:50:25 +0000

Every church communicator seems normal until you get to know them.

You know it’s true because you teeter on the edge of your own sanity:

-Multiple personalities that come from wearing so many hats.

-Obsessive compulsion of uncontrollably proofreading song slides while trying to worship.

-Seeing things others don’t: the potential of clear communication, aligned messaging and well-applied technology.

Church communications is a mad, mad, mad, mad, world … but you wouldn’t have it any other way.

If you’re crazy enough to love working in a church, make plans to give yourself a mental break at MinistryCOM. This two-day experience brings together experts and leaders who are balancing the chaos while on the brink of innovation. Their level-headed guidance provides you with realistic solutions. Hands on workshops offer therapeutic interaction. Time away from the office mentally invigorates…and just might keep you from going over the edge.
