Nexus | Ministry Leadership Conference

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Tod Bolsinger
Location: Pilgrim Chapel, DBU Campus
Leadership is a difficult thing, and it becomes even more difficult when individuals are called to lead within the context of ministry. As a leader, you are called to exemplify Christ and lead like Jesus, but how does this practically work out especially as you navigate an ever-changing reality of new needs, challenges, and crises in your organization?
Join us on Monday, February 10, for our Nexus Ministry Leadership Conference, a one-day conference where we will explore the intricacies of being a Christ-centered adaptive leader, ready to face whatever the future might bring.
Our keynote speaker, Dr. Tod Bolsinger, is a leading figure in the world of leadership development and is the author of the InterVaristy Press books Canoeing the Mountains: Christian Leadership in Uncharted Territory (2018) and Tempered Resilience: How Leaders are Formed in the Crucible of Change (2020).
In addition, you will be treated to a round-table discussion with ministry leaders, as well as breakout sessions with practical insights from leaders who will explore contemporary leadership struggles and encourage you to face them with perseverance and deep trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Topics will include:
- The Dangers of Toxic Leadership
- Identifying the Generational Gaps in Leadership
- Self Care and the Leader
- Leading in Times of Transition
