Will Mancini Pre-Conference Session

Will Mancini, Clarity Evangelist & Founder of Auxano

Presents “The church Unique: How Large Churches Focus People and Resources for Bigger Impact.”

God wants to do something cosmically significant and locally specific in your church. But years of conferences, training, and books have glazed our eyes and carried many down the path of photocopied vision. Unintentionally, leaders have traded out a lion for pussycat, by taming the unique call of God for their church by a preoccupation with what is working down the street.

What’s the cost of such practices? When we duplicate a model rather than incarnating our own, passion becomes derivative and conviction lives second hand. Vision is not simple, clear and powerful.

The good news is that God is at work. And since He never mass-produces snowflakes, sunsets or saints we can surely believe that He’s not mass-producing churches. In this session, Will Mancini provides practical steps toward uncaging vision by unlocking your congregation’s unique DNA to unleash a movement of disciples.
