This training will provide an evaluative framework to help you to recognize gaps you may need to fill and distortions you will want to correct\, and it will provide a clearer path forward toward helping your church become more evangelistically faithful. \nReframe is not a training that will focus on how to better do evangelism but instead will focus on how to be evangelistic. \n\nHow well equipped is your congregation for the ministry of evangelism?\nHow do you evaluate your church’s health in that regard?\nHow would you identify equipping gaps in your congregation’s evangelistic faithfulness?\n\n \nEach training consists of an online\, 90-minute session. They will take place each Wednesday in June. \nDates: June 3\, 10\, 17\, 24 (Wednesdays) \nTime: 10:00–11:30 a.m. (Pacific) \nTraining is free for NAB ministry leaders.

We will learn and reflect on simple practices\, including listening to God through the text\, one another\, and our neighbours\, and committing to small ‘experiments’ that help us recognize the Kingdom of God come near. \nFor more information or to sign up for this series\, email Deb Judas. \nSessions will take place on four consecutive Thursdays (October 22 & 29 and November 5 & 12) starting at 12:30 p.m. (Pacific). \nemail deb URL:https://nabconference.org/event/from-buildings-to-neighbourhoods/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Missional Initiatives ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nabconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/from-buildings-to-neighbourhoods.png ORGANIZER;CN="Deb Judas":MAILTO:djudas@nabconf.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261119T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261119T113000 DTSTAMP:20261016T220350Z CREATED:20261016T220350Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261016T220350Z UID:1131148-1795082400-1795087800@nabconference.org SUMMARY:From Programs to Practices DESCRIPTION:During this 90-minute workshop\, we will begin the conversation of what it means – and why it is essential – for us to move away from efficient\, results-driven church models toward slower\, relational\, Spirit-led ways of being. Rather than eliminating programs\, we are wanting to reorient our focus: to be formed into the likeness of Christ. \nTogether\, we will discuss what this might look like\, by thinking through ideas such as: \n\nMoving from performance to formation.\nMoving from activity to apprenticeship.\nMovement from believing to being sent out.\nReflection on who and what is forming your people and who do you want them to become.\nHow spiritual practices that shape us over time and help us discern where God is already at work and how we might join him there.\nHow we do this as the people of God together.\n\n \nJoin Deb Judas and Luke Miller from the Missional Initiatives Team on November 19 as they facilitate this conversation. \nFor more information or to sign up for this webinar\, contact Deb Judas. \nemail deb URL:https://nabconference.org/event/from-programs-to-practices/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Missional Initiatives ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nabconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/from-programs-to-practices.png ORGANIZER;CN="Deb Judas":MAILTO:djudas@nabconf.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
