The most popular, and arguably the best Arts Ministry conference in America is the Willow Creek Arts Conference held every year in Chicago. I attended for the first time last year (after years of nudging from my mentor and uncle, Mike Harris). I came away blessed, encouraged, challenged, and inspired all at the same time.

Willow Creek is holding a “mid-year” arts training event in February — called “The Green Room” — available by Satellite Simulcast only (everyone is getting the same conference). Some of the speakers are Nancy Ortberg, Ross Parsley, Efrem Smith, and a new session JUST added with Jon Foreman (of Switchfoot). Some of the topics include Bringing the Team Your Best, The Philosophy of Multigenerational Worship (I talk about this a lot – I completely adhere to this biblical and often ignored philosophy) and Worship of the Beloved.

The arts conference is probably $49 for your location, and is on February 19th at a satallite location near you. Most of these things cost a lot more than $49. This is actually a conference we can all go to together without traveling a far distance – locations are EVERYWHERE! Get your worship leader, teaching pastor, drama, and arts leaders together and head to this conference! You won’t regret it. www.artsgreenroom.com.

If you’re in the Northeast Indiana area, I’d love to meet with you at the Fellowship Missionary Church (in Fort Wayne) satallite location with my team! Let me know if you’ll be there and we’ll join up for lunch!
