Registration

fee is $20 and includes lunch and workshop materials.

Registration begins at 9 a.m.

Small

churches include those which average less than 100 in

attendance at their Sunday morning worship service.

The format

for the seminar, which is being led by Dr. Ron Crandall

of Asbury Theological Seminary, will be a mixture of

lecture, question and answer sessions, idea sharing,

handouts, and resource recommendations that have

practical value for local church leaders.

Some of the

topics to be discussed include: appreciating the

uniqueness of the "small" church without

perpetuating a no-growth attitude; cherishing longtime

members and healthy church traditions without blocking

positive change; building a strong spiritual focus

without using methods that fit only larger-membership

churches; and overcoming obstacles to outreach and growth

without trying to change a small membership church into a

large membership church.

District Office, 706-882-3343.
