WHY
Feedback from the 2022 National Conference surfaced a need to:
> To experience the personal encouragement, connect with others of like-mind, and access the specialized equipping that Mosaix delivers to ministry leaders, more than once every three years.

For this reason, these events are scheduled to take place on Saturdays.

THEME
In sailing, tacking is a maneuver used by mariners to keep a ship moving when winds have shifted from back to front and it’s otherwise unable to make forward progress. Similarly, cultural winds have shifted in our lifetime and for all intent and purposes our boat, the collective witness of the church, seems dead in the water. Why? In part because church sails remain fixed for past winds while ministry leaders wait in hope they’ll soon again shift. But they won’t. Those days are gone. We are no longer sailing with the wind at our backs... Cultural winds are against us. In order to advance the gospel, the local church, and the kingdom of God in this day and age as well as in years to come we need now to swing the boom. Indeed, we must tack to the wind. And that's what these events are all about.

Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom
Rasool Berry
Faith and Freedom is an unscripted documentary that invites viewers into the story of Juneteenth, to learn how Scripture inspired the faith of enslaved people, and more about the holiday from the direct descendants of those liberated. After screening a portion of the film, Rasool will facilitate discussion and help you consider how to leverage it within your own church or organizational context.
Has Ministry Gotten Harder, or Is it Just Me?
Kristin Mockler Young
As we know, the bulk of ministry no longer happens on Sunday mornings or within church buildings. This challenge has only heightened in a post-pandemic world. Even small groups and traditional outreach are a struggle to develop. Let’s explore the values of our current culture and learn new strategies for thriving communities.
Learning from the Next Generation
Matt Metzger
Millennials and Gen Z are running businesses, leading in non-profit organizations, and influencing culture…and they are in your church. Do you know what their impression is of today’s church? Join Matt as he leads a conversation with a group of staff and interns in their 20s. They have grown up with a unique experience of the church, are asking different questions than previous generations, and are hopeful about where God is taking the church in the future.
Leveraging the Collective Might of the Church in NextGen Spaces
Santes Beatty
Could being young and in school be an asset whereby students can contribute in ways adults can't? Join us for a disruptive conversation sharing stories, examples, and tools every leader needs to know to resource students ready to take the reins of the Multiethnic Church Movement beyond their local church and into the public square.
WORKSHOPS B (Afternoon, 1:15p-2:20p)
More TBD
Brian McKee
Come explore how to transform your church’s mission into a community-driven non-profit that generates lasting impact in secular and sacred spaces. This workshop provides actionable steps to engineer organizations that fund church initiatives, meet real community needs, and open doors for deeper connections.
ouR Work: Leading with Kingdom-focused Cultural Responsiveness
Karen Dowling
In order to authentically address and value the earthly and eternal worth of our neighbors who are diverse in a variety of ways, there are building blocks for cultural responsiveness and belonging we can engage. With experience in building multicultural learning and engagement teams and strategy, Karen will facilitate a time of aligning our efforts for multiethnic ministry and Kingdom connections in turbulent times. We will explore the concept of the PIVOT and discuss ways to lead in our ministries with Christlikeness, clarity, and collaboration.
Getting Started with Cultural Intelligence (CQ)
Graham McKeague
Get ready to explore Cultural Intelligence (CQ) for ministry! This session will show you why CQ is a vital tool for your church. We'll cover: What is CQ? How will CQ help your team and your ministry? How does CQ align with your mission? What are the practical steps to get started?
Preparing for Retirement: Finances for Faith Leaders
Joe Gabriel
Church members look to pastors for guidance, support, and love. But pastors also have their own challenges to bear, including planning for retirement. This workshop helps both pastors and those they serve make the most of all God has given them in retirement.

Faith and Freedom is an unscripted documentary that invites viewers into the story of Juneteenth, to learn how Scripture inspired the faith of enslaved people, and more about the holiday from the direct descendants of those liberated.
