Church Health Conference

The BVBN Church Health Conference is the annual gathering for the Brazos Valley Baptist Network. The event serves to strengthen the churches of our network by equipping, encouraging, and energizing pastors, staff, and lay leaders. The annual gathering also allows our churches to draw closer to one another as we worship our Savior together. We celebrate the truth that we are united in Christ and are united for Christ.

Join us for an inspiring and transformative conference where we explore the idea that a healthy church is one that bears one another's burdens well. This event promises to be an enriching experience where empathy, compassion, and community intersect. 

Bearing Burdens: Our main speaker, Dr. Nicolas Ellen will bring a message on the importance of Biblical Counseling in the church. A mental health crisis is gripping our nation and now more than ever the church needs to be ready to counsel. 

Strengthen Partnerships: The conference will feature several breakout sessions led by pastors and lay leaders within our Network designed to encourage one another toward greater church health.

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

- Galatians 6:2

Gospel Coach Training

C.R.O.S.S. GOSPEL COACHING IS AN INTENTIONAL GOSPEL CONVERSATION WITH FOCUSED DISCUSSIONS ON ONE'S RELATIONAL, PERSONAL, MISSIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL LIFE.

Healthy Christian leaders are essential to the church and to ministry, and Gospel Coaching is the single most important ingredient for their health and thriveability. Since we need Christ-centered, gospel-saturated, and missionally-focused leaders we can ill afford to rely on non-theological, humanistic, methodologically driven approaches to coaching.
 
Gospel Coaching is a unique approach that incorporates gospel renewal dynamics in the coaching relationship. The gospel not only has power to transform, it is power. We want to let the gospel do its work!

CMM is the leader in providing Gospel Coaches for the church as well as the private and impact sectors. CMM's Gospel Coaching staff are experienced and certified to equip ministry leaders for sustainable gospel ministry in the USA, Cuba, Asia, UK, and all corners of the globe.
