Conference Formats and Topics

Conference Formats:

ARC is able to offer conferences in a variety of formats to accommodate the needs of any church situation. We will customize our presentation to your needs. Some suggested models, however, range from two-hour conferences during the evening (Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday) that focus on giving members a solid overview of one topic plus witnessing tips, to revival style conferences running Sunday through Wednesday evenings or Weekend conferences beginning Friday evening and running through much of the day on Saturday. We can offer a format where the entire church meets together and covers a topic or where a variety of topics are offered in break-out sessions meeting at the same time to give a wider selection or a conference offering some plenary sessions and some breakout sessions.
