At conferences, more time is typically spent listening to presenters than talking with colleagues. The Forming Future Leaders for the Church Conference will flip the script. Participants will spend most of their time in table groups talking and learning from each other. Through those discussions, participants will develop relationships and explore ways to partner for the sake of the future leaders of the church. 

Table group discussions will be guided by a backward design methodology. Backward design envisions formation by first identifying our shared goals and second how we can achieve those goals together. For those working in institutions that form leaders for ministry, it’s an encouragement to consider the purpose behind all that we do for our students.
