Developing a Dance Ministry - A Conference Classics Process Tool

Problem: Dancers in the church don’t know how to start a formal dance ministry.

Recommendation: Use a six-step process to determine a plan for implementing a dance ministry in your church.

This Conference Classics process tool is designed to accompany an audio recording of a Willow Creek Association conference session. You can refer to the tool while listening to the session and use it afterward to dig deeper into the content, or you can use the tool to get the highlights without even listening to the session.

The process tool consists of three parts:

• The PREVIEW section lists the problem that the session addresses and the recommendation that the speaker makes.
• The KEY CONCEPTS section breaks the session down into the core ideas most important for you to understand.
• The REFLECT section includes questions to help you practice, apply, and implement what you've learned. Although the questions are geared primarily to individuals, groups can use them as a discussion guide.

The process tool may be printed, photocopied and electronically mailed as needed for use in the purchaser's church so long as no fee of any kind is charged and the resource is not used, in whole or in part, for internet viewing or posting, conferences, fund-raising or commercial purposes.

Please Note:
This process tool will be emailed to you upon purchase of the message MP3. Please make sure the 'email' field is filled in during purchasing.
