Ministries/Leadership Training: Las Vegas
Carlos Camacho, President of the Nevada-Utah Conference, encourages the attendees to continue to be united in the cause of growing loving followers of Jesus together
It’s 2025, the year to share Jesus and proclaim the good news of His salvation. In a joint effort between the Nevada-Utah Conference Growth Ministry and Ministerial departments, pastors, local church department leaders, and church members were invited to gather at the NUC Ministries/Leadership Trainings—events designed with tools and insights to strengthen communities and ministries across the Conference.
The first training session was held on January 18, 2025, at the Mountain View Church in Las Vegas. Leon Brown, the Executive Vice President, set the tone for the day with a heartfelt reminder: "Jesus is madly in love with you."
Keynote speakers from the North American Division shared inspiring talks on the importance and structure of small group ministries, emphasizing their potential for fostering spiritual growth and meaningful community connections.
Following the keynotes, attendees participated in breakout sessions tailored to various aspects of ministry. These sessions offered practical insights and actionable strategies:
• Children’s Ministry: Leaders explored tools and creative approaches to design engaging programs that draw children closer to Jesus, helping them build a strong spiritual foundation with creativity.
• Youth Ministry: Attendees learned, through the Growing Young materials, how to inspire young people to embrace their faith, cultivate meaningful relationships with God, and remain actively engaged in church life.
• Hispanic Ministry: This workshop focused on supporting and expanding evangelistic efforts within Hispanic communities, emphasizing individual-focused ministry and outreach in 2025.
Looking Ahead
The Las Vegas training marked a remarkable beginning to this year-long series, leaving attendees inspired and equipped with new strategies for ministry. Leaders expressed their excitement to implement what they learned and collaborate with others in their local churches and communities.
Carlos Camacho, President of the Nevada-Utah Conference, encouraged attendees by sharing, “We are committed to continuing this journey of leadership growth and community transformation as we grow loving followers of Jesus in this vast territory.”
This first session set the stage for continued learning, networking, and spiritual growth for a fruitful year 2025.
