The National Collegiate Ministers Summit is in Memphis May 1-3. One of the great things about the Summit is connecting with college ministry friends from all over the country. Of course, the other part is learning from those with whom you agree philosophically.....and.....those with whom you may disagree philosophically. Do Both! Be sure to attend and listen to some things that may make you wrinkle your forehead or whatever you do.
It starts with Mega Breakouts on Wednesday Afternoon at 1:30. Now here is the conundrum:
I am leading one at that time and Linda Weir is leading one at that time. Linda was dubbed by someone as "The Homecoming Queen of College Ministry" having led the BCM ministry on different college campuses and been the College Ministry Leader at Lifeway Christian Resources. Now she serves at Pinelake Church in Starkville, Mississippi. We are long term friends after having worked together some years ago. Hers is entitled, "Leading Next Level Leaders". I would go to anything Linda leads. It will be good and fun!
Let me invite you to mine which will be "The Four Seasons of a College Minister". Mine is based around the simple premise that college ministry is not and should not be just done by the young. There are strengths and weaknesses to every age. Plus, I will share three quick "Secrets of Going for the Long Term as a College Minister". I think there are more than three, but I will be out of time by then.
Of course, there are other offerings at 1:30 you can check out as well. They all look good. But my totally unbiased suggestion is that you and a friend flip a coin and one go to Linda's and one come to mine and then trade notes.
Whatever you do, I will look forward to seeing you in the hallway....or at the Elvis Concert!
