A Two-Day Leadership Development Confernence
You Were Entrusted With A Mission & Ministry

Why It Matters
Serving Is Not The Same As Being Sent
You show up. You serve faithfully, week after week, in the choir, on the usher board, in children's ministry, behind the scenes where nobody sees. Trinity Temple would not run without you.
But somewhere between the schedule and the task list, it's easy to lose sight of what all of it is actually for. You weren't recruited to fill a slot. You were entrusted with people: the new believer who doesn't know where to start, the visitor still deciding if this is home, the young person watching how you carry yourself when no one's clapping.
Faithful service and multiplying disciples are not the same thing, and Trinity Temple needs both from you.
MEET YOUR GUIDES
We Are Not Asking You To Do This Alone
Bishop Benjamin Stephens, III and Lady Latonya Stephens have given themselves to this church and this community, and they know that a church only grows as deep as its leaders. That's why this conference exists, not as another meeting to sit through, but as two days set apart to pour directly into you.
You'll hear from guest speakers who've been where you are and know how to equip a leader who's ready to go further, not just do more.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
Raise Up Leaders Who Disciple
Inspired
Worship and teaching that reconnects you to why you said yes to serving in the first place.
Equipped
Practical, real tools for discipling someone new to the church or new to the faith, not just theory.
Commissioned
A clear sense of ownership: that discipleship isn't the staff's job alone, it's yours too.
Built For Every Leader
Choir, ushers, greeters, children's ministry, media, hospitality, security, parking - if you serve here in any capacity, this conference was built for you. You don't need a title or a stage. You only need a willingness to be poured into.
Choir & Worship
Whether you sing, play, or lead worship, your role is vital to our mission.
Ushers & Greeters
Setting the atmosphere and making every person feel they are home.
Children & Youth
Discipling the next generation and shaping the faith of our future.
Media & Tech
Broadcasting the message and making the ministry possible every week.

WHAT'S AT STAKE
The Next Fifty Years Depend On You
Every person Trinity Temple reaches for Christ needs someone to walk alongside them afterward - someone who noticed them, discipled them, and showed them what faithful looks like up close.
Trinity Temple wasn't built because six people in a storefront had a program. It was built because ordinary people took responsibility for the people God put in front of them. That's what October 9-10 is for - not to add one more thing to your plate, but to send you back into the same seat you already serve in, carrying something more.
