Rural Renaissance
For God So Loved Small Towns is a one-day conference created specifically for pastors and leaders serving in small towns. In a time when rural churches are often overlooked or underestimated, this gathering affirms their vital role in God’s Kingdom. Through practical sessions, honest conversations, and inspiring teaching, leaders will be equipped to lead with confidence, renew their vision, and strengthen their church’s impact. This conference matters because small towns matter—to God, to the Gospel, and to the future of the Church. Rural Renaissance is a space to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that what God is doing in small places can have big, lasting impact.
Session 1: Jesus and Small Towns
Discovering Jesus Heart for Small Towns (Mark 1:38)
Explore how Jesus’ ministry emphasized small towns and rural regions, where He performed miracles, taught, and built relationships. This session will delve into the impact of Jesus’ work in these regions and discuss what small-town churches today can learn from His example.
Session 2: Beyond the Hour on Sunday
What is your church's Kingdom Assignment (John 17:4)
Sunday morning is only one part of a church’s calling. This session will explore how small-town churches can extend their ministry beyond Sunday, meeting the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of the community throughout the week.
Session 3: The Multiplying
Church in Acts
Becoming a Multiplying Movement
In the Book of Acts, the church didn’t just grow—it multiplied. From Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria, and beyond, the early believers spread the gospel from town to town, transforming entire regions. This session will explore how small-town churches today can embrace that same multiplying DNA to expand their reach and kingdom impact.
Session 4: The Leader’s Role
Leading with Vision to Pastor the Town
The final session equips leaders to champion the mission of reaching their community. It will emphasize the leader’s role in casting vision, inspiring the congregation, and maintaining a heart for small-town ministry.
