Welcome to Living in Grace

• Presented by the
• Spiritual Life Department
• Mission to the World

3
What is Living in Grace?

• Living in Grace is a grace-based, Christ-centered
  seminar grounded in the Scriptures.
• The purpose of Living in Grace is to demonstrate
  that all of the Christian life is lived in the
  grace of God in Christ.
• The goal of Living in Grace is to provide
  discipleship training which leads to being more
  fully equipped for life and ministry.

4
Two main aspects of the conference

• 1. Messages are presented by MTW staff on
  various topics.
• 2. Participants discuss the materials in small
  groups.

5
Small Groups
Small groups are the key to an effective seminar.
Our office will discuss with you how these groups
will be organized and facilitated. In most cases,
the church will recruit small group leaders who
will meet prior to the first session on Friday
evening for special training hosted by the
Spiritual Life Department.
6
The Seminar Schedule

• We begin on Friday evening with our first
  session, and continue on Saturday morning,
  generally ending late morning or early afternoon.
  
• The final portion of the seminar is integrated
  into the regular Sunday morning schedule.

7
Who attends the seminar?

• Officers and wives
• Leadership teams
• Congregational members

You decide who attends. Our staff will consult
with you to determine who should attend the
seminar. One suggestion is to have those attend
the first seminar who can then take the
leadership in presenting the seminar by DVD to
the congregation in various settings.
8
What does the seminar cost?

• 25 per person.
• The church is responsible for the
  transportation (via air or car rental) and
  room/board for our team, which will typically
  involve two staff members from our office.
• There are other factors that affect the cost to
  the church, such as meals and snacks. We will
  explore all the options available to make this
  affordable for your church.
• The cost structure is regularly reviewed and may
  change.
• Once we agree on your cost, it will not change.
