The Lifeway Kids and Lifeway Student teams cannot wait to host hundreds of kids, preschool, student, and family ministry leaders in downtown Nashville October 17-19 at the ETCH Family Ministry Conference! ETCH stands for “equipping the church and home” and we are praying that everyone who attends ETCH leaves better equipped and deeply inspired to take their ministry a step further. We want to give you an exclusive sneak peek at ETCH 2018!
WHAT IS THE ETCH THEME THIS YEAR?
This year’s theme is “Unbroken” and our inspiration was the verse in Ecclesiastes: “A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Throughout the conference, we are going to be exploring what an “unbroken” ministry looks like. How can we as ministry leaders link together with other ministries in our church? How can we better link together with parents and families? And how can we link with those people in our cities and communities outside the walls of our churches?
WHERE WILL ETCH BE?
Once again, we are happy to host ETCH in downtown Nashville at the beautiful Music City Center. We cannot wait to host you in our hometown surrounded by fun things to do, unbeatable restaurants, and one of the hottest destinations in the country.
WHO WILL BE THERE?
From Pre-Conference Sessions to practical Breakout Sessions, to inspiring Main Sessions, ETCH is going to be packed with experts and motivators in family ministry. We are excited to hear from Ben Trueblood (Director of Lifeway Students), Jana Magruder (Director of Lifeway Kids), Dr. Russell Moore, Jared Hall, Lisa Harper, Dorena Williamson, Dr. Crawford Loritts, Michael Kelley, and more! It wouldn’t be “Music City” without great music, so come prepared to be led in amazing worship with Jimmy McNeal Band and a special guest appearance by singer-songwriter Ellie Holcomb!
