Hosting a Conference

Thanks for your interest in hosting a Parenting conference. The Parenting conference is an effective outreach event. The practical and Biblical principles are presented in a sensitive fashion that shows the wisdom of Scripture. Bridges will be built that will help open doors for future discussions about spiritual relationships.

What is involved?

Team

You need people who are excited and willing to work together to see the event is planned well. FamilyLife Canada will provide many tools but the team is the key element to hosting a successful event. We have a guide called Planning a One Day Event that provides you with help.

The team will be responsible for:

Prayer

The most vital request we have is to have people praying for the event. We can not stress enough the importance of prayer and the impact it has on the result of the event.  We suggest you have people begin praying well in advance and during the event.

Promotion

We provide many downloadable items that include posters, registrations and invitations.

Registration

Registration and determination of conference fees are handled by the sponsoring church.

Audio/Visual

A person is required who is familiar with your A/V equipment. We require an LCD projector, DVD player, headsets or lapel mics and two music stands. For a complete listing of our needs see our Planning a One Day Event

Refreshments

From experience we have learned that people really appreciate coffee, water and some snack items, such as muffins and fruit. We recommend this as it definitely adds to the enjoyment of the day.

Resources

Books have a tremendous impact to challenge couples well after the event is over. Contact Power to Change Resources for details on consignment book packages.

Follow-up

The Church is responsible for follow-up as we want parents to be connected with you to ensure they receive the most effective help. We do have online helps that we would love to discuss and offer to you that could supplement what you offer.

Cost

Churches receive a discounted rate of $1000 base conference fee for 2 speaker couples plus $15/person for manuals.  Travel, lodging and meals for speakers are an additional charge.  We will try and provide speakers as close as possible to your location.
