The WESTERN CONFERENCE currently consists of twenty-eight churches, with an average weekend attendance of 8,500+ located in Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota and Wyoming. Join the movement God has sparked in the Western U.S.
We are passionate about embracing God's heart in reaching lost people and developing healthy life-giving churches (and pastors). We believe greater Kingdom work can be accomplished working together than independently. As a Conference, we exist for the benefit of the local church. We have three major areas of concern and provide resources accordingly.
We have small churches, mid-size churches and large churches located in rural areas, small towns, and large cities. These churches are served by 108 pastors and are supported by a host of full-time and part-time administrative staff and dedicated lay people who by the Spirit's anointing make Kingdom things happen! MISSION, VISION and VALUES I. VISION: Faithful & Fruitful churches & pastors. II. PURPOSE: A "Conference of Churches" existing for the benefit of assisting in resourcing each local church in order to reach their God-given potential. III. CORE VALUES: Healthy life-giving churches: All churches, new and established, constantly need to evaluate their health based on Scriptural Principles. Congregational diagnosis, community analysis and continued vision casting are vitally important for the life of the church.
IV. Therefore, the strategies and structures within our Conference Ministry Boards/Committees/Teams should be of such a nature whereby the various components work intentionally and strategically in accomplishing our common vision, purpose, and values. If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love,
if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. -Philippians 2:1-5 |
