North Point Speaking Event

Wednesday February 28, 2007

Categories: Miscellaneous

On March 17, I’ll be speaking at North Point Community Church in Atlanta, primarily to their Starting Point leaders. I’ll be speaking about the nature of the gospel and how we can best engage our culture. North Point has made this event available to a limited outside audience for a modest fee. So, if you’re interested, please visit this site and click on the Starting Point Training link under “Events” to register. I hope to see you there!

Scot, We are using the Starting Point materials at our church. In fact, just finished our first 10-week group and are about to start our second. What a great, great process it is. Ours is a very seeker-friendly church, with lots of folks joining us with no church background, no experience with Scripture and only a limited understanding of the whole of the Christian story. We have found the material engaging and very relevant to folks, the conversational aspect non-threatening, the various additional resources which range from movies to suggestions to look at famous pieces of art, etc. to be really helpful to folks.

This kind of curriculum/program is so helpful to us as we work hard to assimilate folks into "the story of God" as they become a part of our Body. We've decided that the only way to help folks grow spiritually is to make sure they become deeply rooted in the right soil from the get go. (duh)

I bet you'll have a great time! I'm kind of jealous ... would love to hear more about what you are going to share with them AND what you learn from them, too.

Scot,
It figures! I'll be visiting my folks that weekend, and won't be in Atlanta. That church is not so terribly far from me, and I would love to have been in attendance, if only to shake your hand and say "hello." I hope you enjoy your visit.

Scot,

Not that you know who I am, but I signed up today since this is in my backyard. One of my good friends who graduated with his MDiv in '89 had you as one of his professors. Anyways, I look forward to trying understand more of where you are coming from in way of the "emergent" and "missional" ideologies. I am already appreciate Stetzer's thinking on many issues.
