Executive Pastor Summit 2008 - It's a Wrap!

Our annual Executive Pastor Summit concluded on this past Wednesday afternoon (1/16/08). In all there were 38 different Executive Pastors attending from around the country. Many of them attending for the first time. As I wrote in my last post, I always look forward to this annual opportunity to come together and discuss topics such as:

Staff and LeadershipHuman Resources and Organizational StructureChurch OperationsFinance (Budgeting, etc.)Facilities (Security, etc.)Service Planning, Design, and ProductionCapital Campaigns and Building Programs

The Summit was held at the Hilton Garden Inn at Sea World in Orlando. The venue was pretty good but I prefer doing it on the Disney grounds. Last year we were at Coronado Springs, a Disney resort. Awesome! I'll be sure and make a case for going back to the Coronado next year!

I made a presentation to the group highlighting a new online tool for Senior Pastors and other church leaders called Executive Pastor Online. It's a "virtual Executive Pastor" providing church leaders with access to the knowledge and expertise of the Executive Pastor before they are able to staff that position themselves. The site also offers a secure (invitation only) back end for the Executive Pastor. It's an online environment for sharing information and facilitating discussions among Executive Pastors.

Countdown 2008

We just completed one of a number of "major" events we have each year in Student Ministries - Countdown 2008. It was a HUGE success!

We had more than 360 students (6th - 12th Grade) attend, many staying until 7 a.m. the morning of New Year's Day. More than 150 of the students had never attended Impact or RIOT (Junior and Senior High) before. That's the best part.

I can hardly wait until next year!
