Feb 27 & 28 | Conference Replays

What happens when Christian workplace leaders and Church leaders are united in Jesus, friendship, and a shared call to work together for Gospel transformation in their city?

Leaders from across our community gathered to see what God is doing in our city - what has been, what is, and what could be if Jesus-followers continue to move together in unity.

It takes the whole Church (workplace leaders, pastors, nonprofits, educators, young leaders, and every believer who longs to see Gospel transformation through the Church) to bring the whole Gospel (word & deed) to our whole community.

Session Replays

Framing our Local Gospel Movement - Steve & Patti Buss

To begin our time, Steve and Patti shared about the concept of a Gospel Movement and our collaborative history.

Panel: Gospel Movements Nationally & Internationally

Guests Chuck Proudfit (At Work on Purpose, Chicago), Tom White (Frontline Ministries, Corvallis), Adam Peacocke (Feathervine, Santa Rosa, CA), and Kirk Petersen (Alpha USA, Portland) discuss the impact of Gospel Movements nationally and internationally.

Faith at Work: 5 Choices - Chuck Proudfit

Christians in the workplace all make five choices. These choices dictate our effectiveness in God's Kingdom and our local Gospel Movement.

Panel: Jesus in the Workplace Locally

Andrew Brooks (Lane County Sheriff’s Department), Bethany Cartledge (Executive Director of Saint Vincent de Paul), Kristy McIntryre (Business Owner), and Jon Ruiz (former Eugene City Manager discuss faith at work.

Breakout: Faith at Work - Chuck Proudfit

Most believers spend the majority of their waking hours at work, yet sometimes they can wonder how their faith fits there. This breakout will explore how our work is both appointed and purposeful, playing a significant role within the Gospel Movement in a city.

Breakout: City-Wide Prayer & Collaboration - Tom White

City transformation doesn’t happen overnight and it doesn’t last without deep roots. In this session, we’ll explore what makes a citywide network sustainable through committed, consistent prayer. Drawing from international and local examples, we’ll look at practical components that endure and the spiritual dynamics and yes, even the displacement of strongholds that often accompany united prayer.

Breakout: Disaster Readiness - Adam Peacocke

During COVID and local wildfires, the Church stepped up not because we had a master plan, but because trusted relationships were already in place. What if we became intentional about that readiness? This breakout casts vision for how a united Church can meet both tangible and spiritual needs during times of crisis.

Breakout: City-Wide Evangelism - Kirk Petersen

In a thriving city movement, the Gospel stays front and center. This breakout explores ways evangelism is growing in cities, how the Alpha Course is taking root in churches and workplaces, and what happens when believers step out together in simple ways to tell their story.

Local Example of Gospel Movement Collaboration & City-Impact: Sheds of Hope

The story of how a community came together to aid those affected by the Holiday Farm Fire in Blue River Oregon that occurred in September 2020.
