Discipleship sessions added to Pastors Conference

Discipleship sessions added to Pastors Conference

Part of running your Christian race and finishing well is intentionally discipling those around you, said Richard Richie, treasurer of the 2017 Alabama Baptist Pastors Conference.

“You’re finishing well when you disciple others and bring them along,” said Richie, pastor of Blue Springs Baptist Church, Somerville. “Sometimes as pastors and ministers we get into the rut of being overseers and CEOs of our churches and … lose that passion of individual sharing.”

That’s why adding two breakout sessions focused on discipleship was important to the Pastors Conference officers this year.

The first session will be Nov. 12 from 4 to 8:30 p.m. and will focus on “Becoming a Disciple-Maker.” It will be led by Billie Hanks Jr. and Robert Coleman. It is limited to the first 50 who sign up. To do so, call 256-353-5912.

The second session will be at 8 a.m. Nov. 13 and will be a demonstration of the D-Life disciple-making strategy. It is sponsored by Life Bible Study and The Alabama Baptist.

Refreshments will be provided at both sessions and both will be held in Room 221 at Whitesburg Baptist Church, Huntsville. (TAB)
