Training for church and community ministries related to building relationships and ministries across cultural lines will be the focus of the April 20–21 IMPACT Conference.
The purpose of IMPACT — which stands for “intentionally moving people across cultures together” — is to equip leaders “in the Christ-centered practices of sharing our faith among different racial and cultural people groups,” said Rick Barnhart, director of the office of associational missions and church planting for the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions.
“The goal is that we develop discipleship programs alongside the community ministry,” he said, noting that those community ministries encompass everything from food banks to job-skills training.
The theme of the event is “celebrating our faith amidst our diversity” and will begin with a solemn assembly and directed prayer time to reflect on your relationship with Christ and relationships with others.
Session topics
Session topics will include modeling community, reconciling relationships, investing in people, displaying unity and having intentional interaction.
The IMPACT Conference will be held at NorthPark Baptist Church, Trussville.
