  2. Overview

    Every church has two small group audiences for learning – those people who lead and direct the ministry and those people who are leaders of individual small groups. This year, the Twelve Conferences are tailored to inspire and equip both.

    TWELVE is a three-day online conference for pastors and small group leaders and their teams responsible for helping direct the small group ministry with their church.....powerful AND high impact learnings.

    Day One - 10 keynote speakers - Steven Furtick, Rick Warren, John Ortberg, Chip Ingram, Miles McPherson, Wayne Cordeiro, Bill Hybels, Craig Groeschel, Brian Houston and Joni Eareckson Tada.

    Days Two and Three – These are the same 3 Tracks that were offered in the TWELVE 2012 Conference. These 3 separate tracks serve different levels of experience in exponential principles from "Haven't learned them," to "Trying to apply them," to "Help me build a plan."

    In the Essentials Track, Pastor Steve Gladen teaches the principles of exponential growth in small group ministry. This isn't Small Groups 101.

    In the Work It Out Track, eight panels and groups discuss issues of implementation.

    In the Planning Track, Ron Wilbur, Ben Reed and Chip Kelly help you develop an 18-month ministry action plan.

    Track Choices:

    1. Essentials Track - Pick this Track if you haven't attended one of our small group conferences before, or would like a refresher.

      Saddleback's small group pastor, Steve Gladen, teaches the transferable principles that God has used to create one of the most successful small group ministries in the United States. This is a model that has been successfully used in churches and all denominations of all sizes around the world. Eight sessions over two days: How your church can grow a healthy small group ministry, and can't miss principles on how to connect your community and your church for spiritual health. These sessions are designed to help, teach, encourage, and equip you with skills including:

      • How your church can have a balanced small group ministry
      • How to use small groups as a spiritual maturity pathway
      • How to mobilize your small groups to serve and to reach your community

      Discussion chat rooms are offered during the live streaming only, not during the on-demand extended time.

    2. Work It Out Track - Pick this Track if you have attended one of our small group conferences, or have read Steve Gladen's book: Small Groups with Purpose.

      Bill Donahue, Bill Willits, Ben Reed, Spence Shelton, Carolyn Taketa, Kim Englemann, Chris Surratt, Adam Workman, Todd Engstrom, Mark Howell and many more leading small group pastors discuss and share their ideas on implementing exponential small group principles.

      Ron Wilbur, Ben Reed and Chip Kelly take you through a workshop with 8 sessions over two days on how to develop an 18-month ministry action plan for your small group ministry. You'll go through planning practices, look at five key areas of small group ministry, set goals and actions, and map them to an 18-month implementation calendar that includes budgets.

      Discussion chat rooms are offered during the live streaming only, not during the on-demand extended time.

    Q. Why are you having two conferences and what’s the difference?

    A. We realized that every church has two small group audiences for learning – those people who lead and direct the ministry and those people who are leaders of individual small groups. This year, the Twelve is tailored to inspire and equip both. Twelve is for small group ministry pastors, directors and point leaders and their leadership team that helps them direct the ministry. Twelve Plus is for leaders of individual small groups, Sunday School leaders and Sunday School teachers. So, no matter where you serve in small groups or Sunday School, Twelve has a great conference for you.

    Q. I've registered and have chosen my Track. Where can I get the downloads for my Track?

    A. Once you've registered and chosen your Track, we will send you a link to the Conference lounge where you can get all kinds of info on the conference and your track as well as downloads.

    Q. What is the limit on the group license?

    A. As many people as you can fit in front of one computer, even if you use it to project the session. You will only have access to the sessions in one track per group license, so choose the track that you will want your people to attend.

    Q. What if I have to miss part of the conference because I have meetings or other interruptions?

    A. No problem. If you miss a session during the broadcast days you can access it and any other session in your registered track over the next 60 days on demand.

    Q. Which sessions can I access during the on-demand period?

    A. For Twelve, you will be able to access all sessions in your registered track, plus ALL of the sessions in the Bonus Track. For Twelve Plus, you can access the one-day conference sessions, plus the sessions in your selected track.

    Q. Are there volume discounts?

    A. We would encourage you to invest in a group license if you will have more than five people attending from your church. This allows you to project the conference to as many people from your church as you would like. If you want to invite people from other churches to attend you’ll want to get a host church license. You can have as many people as you want from as many churches in your area as you want at one low price. Plus, you can charge whatever you would like for the conference and keep all the revenues.

    Q. Will there be a time zone adjustment for the different regions of the world that will be participating?

    A. Yes. The conference will start at 9am in every timezone around the world.

    Q. Will there be translation into other languages?

    A. Not at this time, although we anticipate that many people outside of traditional English-speaking countries will participate because of the global scope of this event.

    Q. How can I be sure that I’ll be able to see the conference on my computer?

    A. Test your computer's compatibility here.
