[email protected] PARENTS AND LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
At the heart of the International House of Prayer’s Children’s Equipping Center is the vision to gather and equip church leaders, parents, and others who desire to impact and mentor the next generation. Our conferences and events offer a fresh perspective and application of Malachi 4:6: “And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers.” This summit is for parents, pastors, and anyone who leads or works in a program or ministry for children and youth. We will cover topics such as building and developing a ministry for children, recruiting and training staff, as well as various issues that might arise in ministry to children and youth. Exploring the theology of night-and-day prayer as it relates to children’s worship, we will discuss a foundation for mobilizing and equipping children to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. For more information and registration, visit ihopkc.org/cec/leadership-summit. 3535 E. Red Bridge Road Kansas City, MO 64137 | (816) 763-0200 |
