The inaugural Dwell Conference in New York City this past April was a sold-out urban church-planting conference attended by men from 12 different countries (the content is available here). The largest contingency was from the UK, so I am heading to London in July for a one-day conference with Mark Driscoll and Steve Timmis, founder of The Crowded House and the Porterbrook Network in Sheffield, England. Church planting is not about a mechanical method that is only practical in a specific place and time. It is a passion for the gospel of Jesus and it is rooted in the Scriptures that tell the story of his redeeming grace. Here is the schedule for the day: Saturday, 12 July 2008 | 9:30 AM–4:45 PM Session 1: Gospel of Grace vs. Religion of Works - Mark Driscoll Session 2: The Church Planter as a Minister of Grace - Steve Timmis Session 3: Am I a Church Planter? - Scott Thomas Session 4: Planting Communities of Grace - Steve Timmis Session 5: Preaching Jesus - Mark Driscoll The cost is only £20.00 Register Today
