- Entrepreneurial Ministry In The Book of Acts

Hunter Roberts, Executive Assistant to the Presiding Bishop of the COGOP

Paul started with a traditional ministry model—teaching in synagogues. But when God rerouted him, a surprising encounter with Lydia sparked a new approach: marketplace evangelism. That pivot unlocked something powerful.
Paul’s shift wasn’t a setback—it was strategy. Discover how his entrepreneurial mindset led to a movement that reached all of Asia—and how God will open doors to greater impact for you.

-Leading With Influence When You Are Not In Charge

Shaun McKinley, Executive Director of Global Communications for the COGOP

Leadership doesn’t always come with the top title—and some of the most effective leaders serve faithfully from the second chair. This breakout will explore what it means to lead with excellence, vision, and spiritual authority while supporting someone else’s leadership. This breakout will offer biblical insights, practical tools, and personal encouragement to help you lead boldly where God has placed you. Discover how to develop trust, communicate upward, and embrace your unique role in advancing the mission—because second is not lesser, it's strategic.

- Discovering Your Profession
           Through Your Calling and Purpose

Glenni Kelly-Perez, Regional Youth Ministries Director for the Southeast Hispanic COGOP

This workshop is designed to guide participants through the process of aligning their career choices with their God-given calling and purpose. Rooted in biblical principles and practical reflection, the workshop explores how to discern personal strengths, spiritual gifts, passions, and life experiences to uncover a profession that not only provides for daily needs but also honors God and serves others. Through a blend of teaching, interactive exercises, and group discussion, attendees will learn to distinguish between a job and a vocation, and how to pursue work that reflects their Kingdom purpose. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with a clearer vision of their professional path, greater confidence in God’s plan for their lives, and tools for making faithful career decisions.

- Ministry Landmines for Next Generation Leaders

Dr. Bishop Brian Sutton, North American Presbyter for the Church of God of Prophecy

Ministry Landmines for Next Generation Leaders is a strategic and eye-opening breakout session designed to equip emerging ministry leaders with the biblical wisdom and practical insight necessary to navigate leadership without compromise. Rooted in the foundational principles of integrity, calling, and preparation, this session will unpack 11 common pitfalls—landmines—that often derail leaders early in their journey. Each landmine will be explored through a biblical lens with real-world relevance, offering proactive tools to recognize warning signs, maintain spiritual focus, and lead with character. This is a must-attend for anyone passionate about finishing well and leading strong.
