The Pacific Southwest District College Ministry is thrilled to be welcoming Rev. Greg Fairow to Southern California for a two day workshop that will explore campus mission opportunities. Rev. Fairow serves LCMS World Mission in partnership with the Lutheran Campus Mission Association as a catalyst for Christ on campus, and a part of the Ablaze movement. Specifically, Rev. Fairow helps LCMS congregations near colleges and universities start intentional campus mission ministries, transform dormant ministries, and expand plateaued ones.
The workshop will be held at the District office from 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 10, 2008 through 12:00 p.m. on Friday, January 11.
Anyone and everyone who might be interested in starting or expanding their missional outreach on campus is invited. This includes pastors, DCEs, DCOs, and all other church workers (rostered or not) at all district ministries with campus outreach opportunities. This also includes part-time and volunteer staff.
The cost will be $70 for one or $110 for a team of up to three from a single congregation.
Early registration deadline is December 21, 2007
Walk up registrations can be done at a cost of $90 per person (no team discount).
A special hotel rate has been secured through Concordia University at the Best Western Airport North. When you call (714)-432-8888 to make your reservation simply ask for the Concordia rate and tell them that you are attending a conference at the University and you will get the $84/night.person rate.
A group dinner will be organized Thursday night to further discussion and networking. This dinner is not included in the cost of the workshop.
Continental breakfast will be provided on Friday morning at the District office.
Rev. Fairow plans to return, in Spring 2008, to provide individual congregational follow-ups to further your campus ministry efforts for those congregations who desire that additional
assistance.
