Speakers: Aaron Couch & Joshua Gray
Aaron has been in ministry for over 21 years. As a pastor in his second church start, he is still amazed at how our faithful God works. Aaron has been privileged to be part of a movement of churches, led in part by pastor and author Jim Putman, that is changing the face of how discipleship is accomplished within the churches of America. As a result of this, he gets the opportunity to travel and speak often. In keeping with the disciplemaking culture of his church, Aaron has brought another church leader, Josh Gray, with him to the conference.
Aaron has a master’s degree from Hope International University and a bachelor’s degree from Boise Bible College, but his greatest joy is his
family. Aaron has been married 20 years and has four kids. They range in age from 17 to 8. Aaron and his wife, Kelli, have served in ministry since the beginning of their marriage. They love the church and love watching God empower people to be set free.

Workshops #1: (2:45-3:45 pm)
Managing Health Care Expenses in Retirement Room 201Presenter: Norm NystromFifty-seven percent of baby boomers said they had a "poor understanding" (31%) or know "almost nothing" (26%) about Medicare, according to a recent survey by Bankers Trust. Three-quarters of boomers (72%) did not know that most Americans on Medicare pay premiums, copays, and deductibles. One in seven thought Medicare was free. Only 14% knew that Medicare does not cover long-term care. A health care crisis is looming in this country, and it is essential for baby boomers to understand what they need to do to prepare for it financially. This educational workshop will cover a variety of topics such as enrollment periods, Medicare costs, coordination with private insurance, minimizing excess expenses, and preparing for higher health care costs. Presenter: Norm Nystrom, independent financial advisor and financial health education coordinator at New Hope Church (EFCA).
Community Gardens as an Outreach Tool Room 202Presenter: Jon AddingtonHarvest Gardens is a community outreach of First EFC in Maplewood. Started in 2009 with a vision to build a bridge with the community, it has grown to encompass ministry to the hungry and recent refugee immigrants. Garden plots are provided to 1000+ gardeners on a first-come basis at no cost. Gardeners come from many communities around the Twin Cities, a diverse mixture of cultures and languages. The workshop will look at the story and journey of how the ministry has developed and the mechanics of how the gardens operate. The workshop will be led by Jon Addington, the coordinator of the Harvest Gardens ministry. Jon will be onsite at the gardens area (a few blocks from the church building) during the second workshop time for any individuals who would like to get a first-hand look.
Disciplemaking is Relationships Room 204Presenter: Glenn OlsonHave you ever felt like you're aiming at disciplemaking but are not hitting the bull's-eye, practically speaking? Kavanah identifies the catalyst of combining intentional action with the expectation of God’s active presence. Kavanah describes what inflows to a disciple and what overflows from the disciple as they and the discipler follow Jesus together. It’s the four practices empowered by the Holy Spirit that result in a disciplemaking bull's-eye.
Leadership Development: An Integral Part of the Church's DisciplemakingPresenters: Cor Chmieleski, Bekah Wacek, Rob Warland Activities CenterLeadership development blesses people individually and strengthens the church corporately. As church staff and leaders, we are called to use our God-given gifts to “equip God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:12-13 NIV). What an amazing opportunity! We get to help equip people to attain the whole measure of the fullness of Christ; both knowing Christ personally and understanding all that he did and taught. This session will look at the vision, value, and implications of leadership development in the church. The workshop will be presented by three leaders who are integrally involved in the fruitful leadership training endeavors of Hope Community Church (EFCA) in downtown Minneapolis: Cor Chmieleski (senior associate pastor), Bekah Wacek (Trek 1 ministry associate), and Rob Warland (leadership development coordinator).

Workshops #2: (4:15-5:15)
Planning Well for Social Security Retirement Benefits Room 201Presenter: Norm NystromSocial Security is a very important benefit to most people in their retirement years. Decisions you make regarding Social Security can have a tremendous impact on the total amount of benefits you stand to receive over your lifetime. You need to understand how taking early retirement or delaying retirement will impact how much you will receive in retirement. You will need to know how to coordinate spousal benefits and use some of the recent strategies to maximize your retirement benefits. This informative seminar covers the basics of Social Security and reveals strategies for maximizing your benefits. Presenter: Norm Nystrom, independent financial advisor and financial health education coordinator at New Hope Church (EFCA).
Effective Partnership for “All People” Discipleship – Discipling Children Through Church and Home Room 202Presenter: Julie AndersenThe call to make disciples of all nations/people is not age-specific. What does an effective partnership between church and home look like when it comes to helping children become disciples of Christ? What components are necessary? What does it look like in our churches? Find some practical strategies and benchmarks to develop your overall discipleship strategy as a church that includes children and the family. Julie is Director of Children’s Ministries at Trinity EFC, Lakeville.
How to Disciple Your Church to Become a Great Commission ChurchPresenter: Steve Austvold, NCD Mission Mobilizer Room 204In this workshop will we look at ten practical steps on how to disciple your church to be a Great Commission church. Come and see what steps are needed to raise your mission awareness and involvement.
Empowering the Body of Christ to Use Their Gifts and Talents to Do Justice – Special Focus Asia Room 206Presenters: Melody Warren, Kathy Austvold, Mobilization CoordinatorsHow does your church do justice? Melody recently returned from a Justice Initiatives ministry trip/adventure to India and Thailand. She will share the amazing opportunities the Lord gave her to meet and train women who are vulnerable or have escaped from sex trafficking. Learn some practical ideas for how your church can encourage and empower people to use their gifts and talents to do justice locally and internationally.
Charity Gives but Justice Changes Activities CenterPresenter: John GerhardtIn today’s world there is a cry for justice: in the Ukraine, in the inner cities of the world, and especially from the millennials, who desire the church to practice biblical social justice. What is biblical social justice and what role should it play in our lives? This workshop will look at God’s word and His call that we walk humbly, act justly, and love mercy. John Gerhardt has 20+ years of experience laboring to bring God’s justice to the inner city of New Orleans

Chris CundiffChris has served as the pastor of Sandstone EFC since 2007. During his high school years he was convinced of and later affirmed in a calling into ministry. He attended and graduated from Moody Bible Institute and completed the M.Div degree from TEDS in preparation for ministry. Chris and his wife, Katie, moved to Sandstone in October 2007 to begin serving the Sandstone EFC. Chris’ passions are being a godly husband and father to his wife Katie and his three children Rebekah (5 years old) Keturah (3 years old), and Josiah (11 months) preaching God's Word to himself and others, and watching God transform his life and others through the Scriptures (best part of the job!). In his spare time he enjoys playing
with his children, golf, hiking, camping, hunting, and fishing.
Dale RobinsGraduating from high school in Grand Marais, MN, Dale and moved to Detroit Lakes to attend Detroit Lakes Vo-Tech, enrolling in the auto mechanics program. In Detroit Lakes, Dale met and married Pat in 1981. After graduation, he worked for Daggett Trucking Company as a mechanic for 20 years. It was during his last 2 years of employment that Dale felt that the Lord calling him to full time ministry. Dale says, “I finally listened when the call came for the third time.” He enrolled in Lutheran Brethren Seminary and graduated in June of 2000. Lake Eunice EFC called Dale as their pastor in 2000 where he continues to serve. Besides preaching the Word of God,
leading Bible studies, and visitation, Dale’s other interests include fishing (when possible), deer hunting, keeping track of the ships coming in and out of Duluth, and reading books.
Larry Stromberg Larry has pastored CEFC since 1998. He is a graduate of Moody Graduate School, Chicago, IL, and previously pastored churches in Maine and Indiana. Larry and his wife, Chris, have four children. His passions are expository preaching and encouraging younger leaders. In his “spare time” he can be found studying Spanish or hanging out with his grandson, Avery. Larry is helplessly addicted to books, coffee, and the Chicago Cubs.

Church Plants Seeking AffiliationThe Lighthouse, Hackensack, MNThe Lighthouse EFCA can be found “going to” the up-north community of Hackensack, MN., and beyond. In 2003, two families that lived in Hackensack, but worshipped in Walker, were faithful to the leading of our Lord to pursue a church plant in their community.
The ‘core group’ and mother church (Walker EFCA) called a pastor (Brian Swedburg) in October of 2003. We opened our doors for public worship in June of 2004. Since then we have met for worship in the community ‘Senior Center,’ the movie theater in town, and beginning in June of 2013 in our own renovated building in the center of town.
And yet, it is not a building that defines us, nor God’s ministry through us. The Lighthouse is a community of everyday people who gather, grow, and go with the Gospel. We are grounded in the Bible, dependent on the Spirit, and growing in trust of the God Who loves us and gave His Son for us. We are sinners becoming over-comers; failures becoming forgivers; friends becoming family; the saved becoming the sent. In all of this, the Lighthouse desires to be a beacon of the Gospel, the presence of God’s Kingdom in our community and world.
We are grateful to partner with you, the many churches of the EFCA, as the one church of all who confess Jesus our LORD, in the ministry of the Gospel.
Grace Community Church, New Ulm, MNGrace Community Church is located in the historic community of New Ulm, MN. Established along the shores of the Minnesota River where it converges with the Cottonwood River, the city was founded by German Immigrants and is known for its strong link to its German heritage.
Several years ago the Mankato Evangelical Free Church made the observation that there were a number of families from New Ulm and the surrounding area attending their church on a regular basis. Upon hosting a Church Multiplication Overview and in partnership with families from the area in and around New Ulm, the decision was made to pursue planting a church.
With the assistance of the North Central District the plans moved forward and a pastor was called and arrived in 2011. Following months of Core Team Training, Launch Team Training, Prayer Gatherings and Preview Worship Services, Weekly Worship services began in September of 2012.
The Church has enjoyed many firsts in the past year and a half. It welcomed its first members (32) at a celebration service in January of 2013. It has held its first Baptism Service, formalized the Elder, Deacon, and Leadership Team positions, grown its Small Group Ministry to the point where there are as many or more adults attending a small group held during the week than attend worship on a Sunday morning, is financially supporting a new church plant in the region and is beginning a new small group in another community in the area with the hope of partnering with a neighboring EFC to begin a new church plant there.
Our Goal of “Knowing Christ Personally, Loving and Sharing Him Passionately” directs our efforts to multiply disciples and to multiply churches that we might be a part of growing Christ’s Kingdom in Southern Minnesota and beyond.
