Early Experience Add-On
Interactive Ministry Labs
Ever wondered, “How did they manage to do all that?!” Now’s your chance to find out!
Join us on Monday morning for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience where we’ll pull back the curtain on the practices that fuel the ministry at Church of the Nativity. Through your choice of two interactive workshops, our experienced staff and ministry leaders will share both successes we’ve had and challenges that we faced.
You’ll gain practical tips and tools that you can immediately apply to your own parish’s context, and leave with a sense of inspiration and excitement.
These labs are also your chance to make direct connections with the Nativity team. Whether you’re looking for advice on a specific challenge or simply eager to learn more about how we operate, this is your opportunity to ask questions and have real conversations.
Early Experience Tickets are just $50 and include two sessions. Each session below repeats at both 10 AM and 11 AM. Seats are limited.
Next Gen Showcase
Ever been amazed by the energy and creativity that goes into Nativity’s CLOW and Student programs? In this workshop, you’ll get a front-row seat to the creative approach that makes our children’s liturgy a memorable and engaging experience for kids.
Watch how the team prepares for each program, from designing themes to rehearsing segments, and learn how we use storytelling and visual elements to captivate young hearts.
You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and brainstorm ways to adapt these techniques to your own parish setting.
Small Group Leader Push
Leading small groups effectively is key to fostering strong community ties within any parish. But how does Nativity recruit and equip leaders to do this vital work?
Straight from Fr. Michael & Tom’s newest Book, The Transformative Power of Small Groups [view here], in ths workshop we’ll walk you through a live demonstration of a Small Group leader push—from the initial outreach to equipping leaders with tools for success.
You’ll not only observe but participate as we build momentum, discuss leadership strategies, and create an action plan. By the end, you’ll leave with concrete ideas and practices to launch or reinvigorate your own small group ministry.
Day in the Life of a Nativity Minister
What does it mean to serve as a ministry leader at Church of the Nativity? This workshop invites you to walk in the shoes of a Nativity Minister and experience a “day in the life.”
From Sunday planning and training events to managing teams and engaging with parishioners, you’ll see first-hand what it takes to serve with both passion and purpose.
Along the way, our team will share practical tips on leadership, time management, and balancing ministry with personal spiritual growth.
