II. 6 INTENSIVES

1. Artificial Intelligence: Emerging Tech’s Impact on Ministry, Theology & Culture
   Facilitated by Rev. Dr. Christopher Benek, Cesar Evander & Troy Carl—Sponsored by International Scripture Ministries
   A ministry-focused discussion of AI and emerging technologies that delves into what’s coming next, and how such developments will impact every area of your church’s ministry. Explore the impact emerging tech will have on identity, dignity, governance, work, warfare, finance, and existential risk. Learn how having a multiethnic congregation gives you an advantage for flourishing in an emerging technological world, and why your church can’t afford to ignore what’s coming. We hope you’ll join us for this thought-provoking conversation.
2. Mental Health: Healing from the Burdens of Multiethnic Ministry—Sponsored by Restoration Psychology
   Facilitated by Drs. Jessica Pae (Psy.D.), Genalin Niere-Metcalf (Psy.D.) & Jason Jones (D.Min.)
   While the vision of multiethnic and socially just churches is both beautiful and inspiring, the journey towards it is often costly and painful. This seminar creates a space for honest conversations—where attendees can name challenges, release burdens, and find renewed strength. If the multiethnic church movement is to flourish for the next 25 years, we must be people willing to acknowledge the weight of this work so that true healing and forward movement can take place. Together, we’ll explore strategies for personal restoration, partnerships that drive systemic change, and above all, cultivate hope.

4. Church Multiplication: A Practical Framework for Reproducing Churches
   Facilitated by Obe & Jacqueline Arellano & others TBD—Sponsored by Exponential Español
   Church planting is the most effective way to reach new people—new churches are 75% more effective at engaging the unchurched than churches over 10 years old. If you want your church to expand its impact and presence, consider becoming a reproducing, multiplying church. In this pre-conference forum, we’ll present a practical multiplication framework every leader can apply to cultivate a healthy, reproducing church that plants new churches and reaches more people in your community.
5. NextGen & Young Adults: Maximizing the Capacity of Multiethnic Leadership
   Facilitated by Brian Dye, Santes Beatty & Lisette Fraser—Sponsored by TenX10
   A new generation is reshaping the Church. Across urban, suburban, and rural contexts, young adults are asking bold questions and bringing fresh passion to ministry. The challenge for today’s pastoral leaders is not simply to engage them, but to equip and empower them to lead in multiethnic spaces where the future of the Church is being necessarily forged. Together, with thought-leading practitioners who are actively discipling, mentoring, and mobilizing young adults, come explore innovative strategies and proven practices to raise up Kingdom NextGen leaders who can thrive in diverse, complex, and rapidly changing ministry contexts.
6. Navigating Cultural Complexities: Beyond Tension to Transformation
   Facilitated by Markus Lloyd, Antwuan Malone & Keith Heilman—Sponsored by Threaded
   Leading a church into America’s multiethnic future is sacred—but it’s not easy. Many leaders deeply desire unity, but feel blocked by real barriers. In this interactive pre-conference workshop, we’ll unpack these barriers and introduce some practical next steps. Whether your church is homogeneous or multiethnic, this session will help you disciple your people, staff, and yourself through cultural complexity with clarity, courage, and Christ-centered confidence.
