Dane Aaker Coming to ABC-NW

I was talking with Dane Aaker this morning about the talks that he will present later this fall in our Region. Dane is senior pastor of Centerpoint Church in Colton, CA. He's also a friend of the ABC-NW and has spoken at previous events.

He will be speaking at two of our Area meetings: Big Sky Area Convention, September 18-20; and Intermountain Area Celebration, October 17. His topics will be the same for both gatherings:

• "Doing Less For More Results"
• "Building a Church that Attracts Seekers"
• "Building Worship Services that Make an Impact"

What I love about Dane is his continuing quest to be the best. He never rests on his laurels, or past achievements. For 25 years now he has led his church to continuously adapt, seeking to reach more and more people. As a result, the average age of the church is the youngest in its history, and its attendance is at an all time high (1100 to 1200 on a given Sunday). That's pretty amazing for a 122 year old church in a downtown location. The most recent surge in growth took place this summer! Yet, in spite of all of this success Dane is one of the humblest men I know. That's one of the many reasons I respect him. It's also why I try to learn as much as I can from Dane. I hope that you will take advantage of Dane being in our Region. If you are in the Big Sky Area or the Intermountain Area do your best to attend, and bring a pile of people along with you. They will learn a ton of stuff.
