North Coast Leadership Conference

Learn practical tips and the essential tools needed to effectively reach and engage people where they are, without compromising your mission.

Member Care, Care Ministry, Congregational Care. We all have different names for the things we do to tangibly show up and care for our church communities. Come and hear from two of our Campus Pastors, Brandon Vasquez and Tracie Moss, on how to make sure that all of your people can trust that their local church has them covered.

So they said yes to leading a group! But what’s next, and how do you keep them engaged and sticking with it for the long haul? Join North Coast Small Group Pastor Dave Enns as he shares North Coast’s scalable model for any size church on how to keep and train your leaders for the long haul without burning you and your leaders out. This breakout will teach you...

• How to create a leadership training model and meetings your leaders want to engage in
• A doable coaching model that offers the support your leaders need without using up all your time.
• A simple way to train your leaders to deal with any issue or conflict they encounter
• A metric to assess how to staff for your groups ministry to allow it to thrive (it's probably less than you think)

Hear how an investment of resources and encouragement into your Children’s Ministry can cultivate your community impact and deepen children’s relationships with Jesus.

Online Church isn’t going anywhere. Are we creating a future-forward strategy, or are we still trying to catch up? How do we measure and care for those that are connected online? We will be sharing our results from this past year and what we have learned while doing North Coast Church Online. We have had success and failures, and we hope you can learn from both. We look forward to having you participate in this conversation.

An honest conversation about our most common triggers with our kids. Together we will not only pinpoint the recurring issues, but take it a step further and make a better plan. Let's figure out what we mean to say before we say something mean." In addition to the typical struggles, such as bedtime, dinnertime and screentime, we'll address some more confusing and elusive ministry-related struggles like Sunday morning stress and those times we find ourselves all poured out beyond the home and short-tempered within the home. This breakout session might hurt a little, but it's going to lead us (and our families) to healing. 

Join Lyn Anderson, Women's Life Group Pastor, as she unpacks the lessons she learned creating Women's Ministries from scratch. You'll gain practical tools for launching with a small budget, no staff and how to build a tribe of volunteers and creative thinkers to help reimagine Women's Ministry. You'll also learn how to problem solve the pitfalls of Women's Ministry and identify the needs of women in your church and community to build a healthy and thriving ministry.

It can be challenging to know how to help a depressed person, especially one that is suicidal.  We can freeze or say something regrettable because we're not quite sure what to say. In this breakout we'll take time to understand hopelessness, learned helplessness and how they impact a suicidal person. We'll also introduce simple strategies that can help with almost any depressed or suicidal person.
