The Sticks is a “Gathering Movement” where leaders and Pastors with a passion to see smaller communities transformed by the Truth and the Power of the Gospel gather together.
It’s a conference where we share our passion, insight, leadership and knowledge to reach areas of the country no one else dares to reach.
Many times you have to be twice the leader to see impact in smaller areas of the country, and these men and women are amazing pioneers and are on the cutting edge.

Sifted – the theme of Exponential 2012 – emphasizes the planter’s spiritual, physical and emotional health as the very foundation for reproducing. In Luke 22:31-32, Jesus’ reference to Peter being “sifted” is based on the process of sifting wheat from its chaff during harvest, a form of refining and distilling the good from the bad and removing impurities. As Believers, we have been perfectly sifted by Christ’s blood and are being continually sifted to extract our chaff (sin). Life’s troubles and difficulties serve in some measure like the winnowing fork. What if we could be better prepared to deal with life’s troubles? Join sage and seasoned leaders at Exponential 2012 as they impart their years of wisdom to help you in your journey and lay out a plan for finishing strong.

We are committed to coaching church planters for greater missional impact. It is our desire to catalyze movements of churches committed to…
- Going missonal by being the church in their community (Jerusalem).
- Making the Gospel accessible throughout their region (Judea).
- Launching church planting movement makers throughout North America (Samaria).
- Developing strategic partnerships for global impact around the world (ends of the earth).
As Churchplanters.com we want to multiplying God’s vision by equipping young leaders for being the Church in North America and extending His impact around the world.

The Velocity Conference offering features:
SESSION 1 The Planter and his Preparation We all are concerned about impact. We should be. The Gospel is impactful! How do you increase the velocity of our ministry impact? By slowing down! We slow down to prepare. We slow down to renew! We slow down to regroup. Without slowing there is no accelerating. This is where it must begin. We must begin with the planter and his preparation.
SESSION 2 The Planter and his Mission We all have the same mission. This mission is clearly laid out in Matthew 28:19-21. We are a missional people. We plant missional churches. We serve a missional God. This mission is all encompassing. This mission impacts everything we do. It impacts how we gather, it impacts how we relate in community, and it impacts how we move out in mission to the world.
SESSION 3 The Planter and the Gospel Our mission is a rooted and founded in the Gospel. At times we loose our way. We plant our churches, but with little Gospel. God is calling his church back to the simplicity and centrality of Jesus. Our understanding of this gospel has been way to small and narrow. Our Gospel is a robust Gospel that impacts all that we do. What we understand about this Gospel profoundly impacts the churches we plant and the people we lead.
SESSION 4 The Planter and his Pain- Church planting is a life-shaping mission. We begin the journey with a passion and vision for shaping the lives of a community and even the world. Before it is over we discover that in order to shape the lives of others, God must do a work in us. The path we are call upon includes a cross. Planting a church involves the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Enduring hardship is part of the planter’s life.
SESSION 5 The Planters and his Team – Someone once suggested it’s not the hill you take, but those who take the hill with you. It’s about team. Jesus didn’t do it alone. Jesus multiplied himself through twelve unlikely men. He promised them with ultimately the price of sin vindicated, and with the blessing of the Holy Spirit that they would do even a greater work then he could do alone.
SESSION 6 The Planter and his Motives –Someone once said, “When our motivation is wrong, all else is wrong”. Think about it. We live in a world that glorifies star athletics and rock stars. Unfortunately, the church and us leaders of it are not far behind the world. In this social media driven world where we write our own press releases we must ask, “Why do we do what we do?” What motivates us? What kind of churches are we trying to plant? What is the compelling reason we engage in church planting? This is the one we must get right.

This will be our 4th gathering. Because the traveling around the Midwest in the winter can be treacherous, we decided to move our time together to the fall, October 29-30. The Ecclesia Network is helping sponsor the event as well.
This year our theme is KINGDOM RELATIONSHIPS, specifically focusing on DISCIPLESHIP, FAMILY, and LEADERSHIP from a missional perspective.
