Our program will be brought to us by Karl Vaters.
Karl has been in pastoral ministry for 40 years. He is the teaching pastor of Cornerstone
Christian Fellowship, a healthy small church in Orange County, California, where he has
ministered for over 28 years with his wife, Shelley. They have three kids and two grandkids.
Karl produces resources for Helping Small Churches Thrive at KarlVaters.com. His heart is to
help pastors of small churches (up to 90 percent of us) find the resources to lead well, and to
capitalize on the unique advantages that come with pastoring a small church – something
virtually every pastor will spend at least some of their ministry years doing.
He also believes that big and small churches can and should work together more often – to the
benefit and blessing of everyone.
Session topics include:
Redefining Success in Ministry.
Big Churches, Small Churches—What’s the difference?
How to Discover and Use What Your Church Does Well.
Finding & Mentoring Volunteers in Today’s and Tomorrow’s Small Church.
The Post-pandemic Church; What’s working in churches that are thriving?
