With so many headline stories about business corruption, it is essential to understand ones’ own ethics and how to use them as a guide to avoid costly personal and legal mistakes.  The Bible illustrates over and over again how God’s chosen people ignored their ethics and made decisions that resulted in dishonor.  We will be challenged to understand how God will use our ethical commitments to his glory in difficult situations.  This session will address the meaning of ethics/values, what the Bible says about our ethics, the practical application of ethics in the office, and how to develop a personal code of ethics.

Did you know engaged members are more than ten times as likely to invite someone to participate in their congregation than those who are not… or that engaged members are nearly three times as likely to say they are extremely satisfied with their lives?  Did you know that engaged members spend more than two hours per week serving and helping others… or that engaged members give up to three times more to their congregations?  If those things are important, then it’s time to start measuring engagement in our congregations.  In this session, we will examine what that process looks like and how to get your congregation "Engaged!"
