Seminars for Your Church, Church Leadership or Conference
1) Church@Community Conferences
Our Promise . . . "You will never, never, ever, ever, see your community the same way again."
We have a mandate. We want to spread the concept of community transformation and churches for the community to every part of the globe. We desire to see communities transformed by the church both inside and outside of the four church walls. We desire to activate 11/12 of the Christians who have a career and a ministry at the same time to be 'pastors' to the community. We desire to see the church take its place as a vision-caster and influencer in the community once again.
What will be the result? Church and community growth, not to mention personal growth. We never want to experience underachieving Christians, churches, communities, cities and countries again. Every pastor wants to grow his/her church. Every community leader wants to grow their community.
A Church@Community conference creates the values shift necessary in your people to engage the community. Our conferences are a transforming experience. Your people will never be the same way again. Hundreds of testimonies support what we are saying.
We would love to have the opportunity to speak at your church or city. Please contact Ed Delph at 623-363-9961 or 623-376-6757. You can also email Ed at NATIONStrategy@cs.com to schedule your conference. Please click "Calendar" on the www.NATIONStrategy website for Dr. Delph's current schedule.
Dr. Delph prefers to have 7 - 10 sessions for this conference, but that is a goal, not a prerequisite.
Suggested for churches . . .
- Friday evening, Saturday daytime and Sunday services.
- Sunday services, Monday - Wednesday evenings.
Pastors or leaders conferences can be anytime at your convenience.
You may want to have Dr. Delph speak at your church's Sunday service first and follow up with a conference.
The subjects covered would be the same as in the introduction of this website.
The following is an example of a Three Day Church-Community Connection
Conference or Seminar.
Our guarantee is that after this conference, you will never, never, ever, ever see your community the same way again!
First Evening...2 sessions....great public sessions...sometimes ministry afterwards
1. The Church-Community Connection!
This session is a case statement for the community. Ed is like a lawyer presenting the case of the community to the jury....which is the audience. This session is full of revelation...the kind of revelation that generally prompts leaders, pastors and the people to action.
2. The Culture of the Church
This is a fairly short session but will has a shock value through revelation that sets up the rest of the conference. It shows us how traditional church culture incapacitates us for community transformation.
First Day It depends on what you want.....I could do 3 sessions in the day ..one at night.....the day sessions would be more geared to pastors, leaders, and marketplace ministers......the evening would be more catalytic...so all would enjoy but the night session will still be on community transformation.
Day sessions......
1. Intelligent Fire.....Nehemiah's Recipe for Community Transformation.
This session shows how four elements are needed in real, tangible and lasting community transformation. Most community transformation initiatives rely on one element thus reducing the sustainability of any community transformation effort. It's like a recipe. When all the ingredients are mixed together, we move from the incredible to the credible in the community.
2. Community Transformation: Turning Unfulfilled Potential Into Fulfilled Reality...The Principle of Vision and Government.
This is the most important session in the conference for leaders. This session moves us from the possibility of community transformation to the probability of community transformation
3. How God Makes Cities....The Humpty Dumpty Principle.
Who are the influencers in a city and what is the church's relationship with them? Can the church reach a city by itself? This session is a revelation on the five mind molders of the community. We unfold the principle of strategic alliances and mutual collaborations to the benefit of all in the city.
Second Evening ......
The Corporate Anointing.
This session is where I show it takes a community of churches to reach a community of peoples. I actually make holy, anointing oil and an anointing service follows. Those present will never forget this message.
Second Day ...3 sessions.....
Day sessions.....
1. Outrageous Grace....It's In the Atmosphere!
This session deals with the prerequisite of creating an environment of grace in your church where both the lost and the found feel welcome and sense God....very unique and eye opening.
2. Giving Back.....Pursuing Social Responsibility.
Are we called to be spiritual only? Is our job as the church salvation only? What does God say about social responsibility? Have Christians underestimated the power of God's truth to transform entire societies? Get ready to have your paradigms shifted in a transforming way. This session has a call to ministry at the end of the session...ministry, etc.
3. How To Build a Church For the Community.
This is a very practical way to structure your church so that you are releasing today's leaders and influencers in church to be tomorrow's leaders and influencers in the community. We will introduce you to what we call....The Three Staged Rocket...propelling you to the community. You learn how to build a church that grows by growing the community, allowing the church to be a vision caster in the community once again. This is a "how to" message. There is a question and answer time in this session.
I could talk on a number of things at a luncheon.....I probably would speak on Seeking the Welfare of Your Community the Daniel Way or Internal Strife Leads To An External Oppressor or any topic that you would like.
Third Evening....
The 11/12th's Church.....The Return of the Kings!
This message is on who is responsible for the transformation of the community. Who are God's community transformers? It is the ultimate 'marketplace minister' message that turns on your marketplace people to the high calling they have in Christ. Marketplace Christians serve at church but their ministry is in the community. Watch your church grow as you activate 11/12th's of your church to church life beyond....church life! Ministry and activation follows this message. This is a great way to end the conference.
Other notes: Anytime there is ministry afterwards it is always helpful to have music or worship...especially at night. I have geared this seminar or conference to most of the ministry at night. There will be some ministry in the day as need, church culture, and God dictate.

2) Spiritual Entrepreneurism For Strategic Community Influence
One
of the greatest moves of the Holy Spirit in the 21st Century is the
activation of Marketplace and Commerce Christians.
For
far too long, those in Commerce who attended the church have been
asking.....
Why
am I here?
Why am I a businessperson, a government official, a teacher, or in media
if where I am is unholy?
Is Business unholy and, if so, why does God have me here?
What is full-time ministry?
What is my role in the community as well as in the church as a person
engaged in commerce?
What and where is church?
What is secular and what is sacred?
In
this class, we will redefine ministry and, for the first time in many
years, learn how to redefine God, Church and Christians in the eyes of
the community. We will activate the 11/12's church! We will give you
permission to make a profit, advance, succeed, and be promoted for
influencing the influencers of the community. We will reinstate the
'Church-Community Connection' that existed in communities in the time of
the Book of Acts.
You will become more entrepreneurial! You will become more proactive!
What you do will be legitimized and included in normal church life! We
will equip you for life....not just church life! You will meet
successful Christian entrepreneurs in each session and learn how God is
using them in their place of influence in the community. We will enhance
your
This class is about formation not just information. It's more strategic that academic. We show the way, not just teach the way. The key is positioning Christian influencers into positions of influence.
Welcome to a bigger world......you've got mail!
A capacity building, transformational class for all people equipping you for success in all realms of life thus enhancing the community.
3) APOSTOLICITY… Making Sense of the Apostolic.
This seminar is based upon Pastor Ed’s book “Making Sense of Apostolic Ministry”. This is a great 4-7 session seminar on the subject of apostolic ministry. The seminar would be great for congregations, bible schools, seminaries, or leadership training institutes that want a no-nonsense, easy to understand look at the task of apostles and those involved in apostolic ministry.
Pastor Ed makes understanding the apostolic ministry easy to church leaders and their congregations. You and your church can easily be apostolic. This seminar is Ed’s response to the question it seems everyone is asking … “What does the apostolic look like … is it a status, or a task?”
4) Redemptive Relevancy . . . Ostrich or Opportunity?
This 4-7 session seminar has to do with “Giving the Church Back to the Community.”
Most pastors, churches and congregations have a desire to be an influence in the community, lead people to Christ, and be people and churches of refuge, but don't know the “how to’s” and “what’s required” issues to be such a church. This seminar takes you and your people on a quest into the postmodern world so you can know how to minister to your community. Then we look at Daniel who turned his Babylon to the Lord. We explore the issues of focus and awareness through the series “Clueless in Seattle” as well as the issue of authenticity called “Can We Be Real?” We finish with “how to’s” applied in a practical way to influence your community.
This is a whole new approach to this type of subject. It’s especially good for ‘charismatic’ churches wanting to influence their communities in a real and tangible way.
5) Innovative Disruption . . . In the Nick of Time!
This 4-7 session seminar is the “now” word of the Lord … both spiritually accurate and biblically correct!
This seminar ‘revelates’ the principle of “spiritual entrepreneurialism” to pastors, leaders, congregations and other community spheres of influence like business, government, education and the media. All of these spheres of influence are necessary components in any community. The church was meant to be a vital part in cooperation, not marginalization, with the community. Innovative Disruption activates the Christian in the business sphere, government sphere, educational sphere, media sphere, etc., to be ‘sent ones’ into their sphere of influence! Ten actual examples of innovative disruption are discussed in this seminar.
Some topics include:
• Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall . . .
• Church and Government - The Two Keyed Lockbox
• God is a Businessman
• Looking For a Way In . . . Not a Way Out
• Activating, Empowering, Releasing the Entrepreneurial Offices and Gifts
• Influence … Joseph’s … Pharaoh’s
6) Building Your Church Around Purpose
In this series, Ed takes you from a 'working generality' to a 'meaning
specific'! We explore the subject and power of purpose, and then very
practically take you through the process of building your church, business,
ministry or whatever around purpose. Ed helps you in determining who
you are, what you do, how you do it, and what it looks like when it's
done. Church government and ways of dealing with organizational crises
are also dealt with.
This conference has a complete workbook with it that has also been translated
into Spanish.
Other Seminars Include:
1)
Intercession and the Apostolic
2) Learning How To Trust All Over Again - based on Ed's soon to be released
book of the same name.
3) Realms of Reformation
4) Singles Conference on Dating and Relationships
5) Conquering Lingering Effects and Influences
