There are many ways you can get further connected to the IARBC community through
our web site. Here are just a few to get you started:
As you probably know, the Iowa Association of Regular Baptist Churches (IARBC) purchased the franchise to provide Intentional Disciplemaking Training (IDT), that our name for it, from T-Net International several years ago. We have been making that training available to our churches for several years; the last few years our trainers have been our own pastors.
T-Net provides training for their trainers annually. This year’s training may be of special interest to many of you whether or not you have had IDT. You do not have to be a trainer or have had the training to attend this year’s unique training. If you have had the training, it would be a great review for you. If you have not had the training, it would be a great introduction for you.
The reason that I can say that so confidently is because this year’s training will allow you to see real live examples in an actual local church setting of the following ministries:
-Ministry Community (local church leadership team meeting -which is a significantly enhanced deacons
and trustees meeting)
-ABF (Adult Bible Fellowship – which is a significantly expanded approach to Sunday School)
-Covenant Group (a basic evangelistic Bible study)
-Basic Accountability Group (a basic intentional discipleship small group)
-Ongoing Accountability Group (an advanced intentional discipleship small group)
The main goal is to help churches see solid models of the principles and structures used in a Disciplemaking church implementing this training.
The principles that are modeled in this church are born out of Biblical patterns and provide an alternative to the opposing choices of “tradition” and “trends” that are so often held out to us as primary models today.
We encourage you to take advantage of this unique training opportunity.
You will also be able to get expert advice from seasoned T-Net trainers and best practices from other churches in forums and discussions.
Along with this there will be workshops on:
· International Training
· Coaching and discipling disciplemakers
· Leading outreach in ABF’s
· Newcomer’s Classes that work
· And More!!!
This training is available to without charge July 27-30 at the Brooklyn Park Church in the Minneapolis area.
You can get more information on how to register (without cost) and motels or free housing at 1-800-995-5362.
If you, who are receiving information from the IARBC and are planning to attend or have questions about this that you would like to discuss, please contact Joe Hayes at jhayes@iarbc.org or 515-975-5742.
