Last week six of our staff went to Vegas due to the generosity of a private donation. It was awesome! We don't go to gamble The Journey's offering, but instead attended a small conference called Vault. It's put on by our friend, Vince Antonucci the lead pastor and founder of Verve Church. Verve is a Church that we have partnered with by sending money to support (a few different times) and sending two teams to help serve them.
The Vault conference is designed for church planters (starters) and leaders who want to create "church for people who don't like church". They have the pulse on how to reach and connect with people who are truly disconnected from Jesus and many who have no interest whatsoever in church or God or faith. This is not who most churches are intentionally reaching out to, so the conference feels like a small band of brothers. The Vault Conference has happened for the last three years in Vegas.
On May 8, we are bringing the Vault Conference to Muskegon!! We will be doing a One Day event, Vault Midwest, w/author & pastor Vince Antonucci. If you're a church planter, want to reach people disconnected from Jesus, are a leader in your church, you need to mark your calendar for this day. We'll have some hotel info. and the pricing in the near future. But for now, get PUMPED, because Vault is coming to Michigan. If you want to stoke the fire for you or for your people about reaching the 70-80% of people in your community that do not attend church, this WILL do it.
P.S. If you're a Journeyer - we'd love for you to participate. We'd love for some of you to take the day off and be a part of the conference, and we're going to need a small group of people to help serve at the conference as well.
Tomorrow . . . another Vegas announcement!
