Louisville—Those who lead church ministries will benefit from a variety of training sessions at six Super Saturday events throughout the state in August and September. Sponsored by the Kentucky Baptist Convention, Super Saturdays are comprehensive church ministry training gatherings.

Events will be held Aug. 16 at Immanuel Baptist Church in Lexington; Aug. 23 at St. Matthews Baptist Church in Louisville; Sept. 6 at First Baptist Church of Somerset, and Lone Oak First Baptist Church of Paducah; Sept. 13 at First Baptist Church of Pikeville, and First Baptist Church of Bowling Green.

New this year, Comeback Church courses will be offered for churches seeking to experience turnaround church growth, and Safe Church Initiative courses will be offered to help church leaders and volunteers understand how to protect children and youth in the congregation.

“Super Saturday is designed to help Kentucky Baptists discover practical tips for strengthening their ministries,” said Darryl Wilson, who serves as Sunday school director for the KBC. “The conferences are designed to help church staff, teachers and volunteers map out a ministry plan for the coming year and help move their ministries forward.”

Training is available for leaders and volunteers in most areas of local church ministry, including assimilation, church architecture, Sunday school, stewardship, discipleship, evangelism, women’s ministry, worship and music, preschool and children, finances, deacon ministry, ministers’ wives and secretaries.

Additionally, Hispanic ministry and church planting conferences also will be offered at the Lexington event, and small group and single-adult ministry conferences will be available at the Lexington and Louisville locations.

Super Saturday participants can customize their event experience by selecting from a variety of conferences throughout the day. Participants may select one leadership conference to receive in-depth training in their primary ministry area, as well as two afternoon conferences based on their interests and needs.

Registration is required for all Super Saturday events. The cost to attend is $20 for those who register by the Monday before each event, or $30 after that date.
