Harmony in the church is important, but between leaders it’s not enough.
The Gospel calls us to something much more, true reconciliation. Jesus died on the cross to reconcile us completely and fully to God. Harmony wasn’t enough. Imagine if ministry leaders reconciled, embraced each other and wept as Joseph did with his brothers when they came to Egypt. What a powerful testimony that would be to all in the church and to the outside world!
Jolene Kinser, speaker/author known for her insights into conflict resolution, will guide us on a thought-provoking journey to explore the nuanced differences between harmony and reconciliation. Jia Jiang, gifted moderator, will engage Jolene with insightful queries uncovering underlying dynamics and complexities that lie within the realm of peacemaking.
But that’s not all. Our event will also feature a panel of seasoned pastors, who will bring their testimonies on the challenges and triumphs of fostering peace within their congregations and communities.
Join us for this symposium and be part of the transformative dialogue that will redefine your approach to cultivating peace in your church.

Conflict Competency
Conflict is inevitable. Some would say it is prevalent in our culture today – digital, political, generational, linguistic etc. Naturally, conflict occurs in our churches too.
Listen to this engaging conversation discussing biblical principles, within our cultural context, and real pastoral experience in conflict resolution. The goal is not to avoid quarrels, but to address them in a way that propels effective ministry.

Raising Up Young Leaders
Empowering the next generation of leaders is vital for the present and future of our churches. But how can we cross the cultural and generational gaps to raise up young leaders effectively? A panel of experienced Chinese and English ministry leaders will engage in a dynamic conversation with valuable insights on overcoming challenges and adopting best practices to nurture tomorrow’s church leaders.

Understanding Gen Z
Every new generation is the future of the church and each one is uniquely gifted. Joy Cheng, (Director of Programming, FEBC), speaks on the distinctive characteristics of Gen Z. Tsun-en Lu (Campus Ministry, Ambassadors for Christ) and Andrew Feng (US Director, Indigitous) give responses from an OBC and ABC perspective, followed by a time of Q&A. How will God use this new generation to expand His kingdom and reach the world? What obstacles do they face? How can we work together to equip them for their future roles? Dr. Cheng’s last slide has additional resources.

Bringing the Generations Together
An engaging discussion on how we can bring the generations together. We need the whole church to reach the whole world. Seasoned leaders in ministry Rev. Sandy Liu (English and Youth Ministries, RCCC) and Rev. Hugo Cheng (Senior Pastor, CBCM) speak about ways to build bridges between the generations in the ministry setting. Rev. Enoch Liao (Assistant Pastor, BCEC) will help to moderate the discussion. What will it take to bring the generations together? Each church is unique in its own situation; different approaches will be discussed. It is our hope that this conversation will continue after the symposium.
