You believe in the Holy Spirit — so why does leading ministry time still feel hard? In this workshop, Mike Turrigiano, longtime pastor and Vineyard leader, explores why pastors, ministry leaders, and small group leaders struggle with Spirit-led ministry and offers a healthier alternative to pressure, performance, and pretending or quietly avoiding ministry time altogether. Rather than new techniques or programs, this session invites a simple shift in posture that can change everything.

Host: Mike Turrigiano [The Main + Plain]

Lots of pastors suffer in silence. Overwhelmed, discouraged, and unhappy with their jobs. Unwilling or unable to seek help or even talk about it. On the verge of giving up. Why? Is it simply the stress? Have they simply run out of gas? For many it runs deeper than that. It’s a crisis of calling. Pastors are increasingly doubting whether they’re suited for the job. A recent Barna study reported 55 percent of the pastors polled going through significant periods of doubt concerning their call to the ministry. Up from 24 percent seven years earlier. What’s needed is a redefining and revitalization of their calling to pastoral ministry.

Mike Turrigiano, veteran of over five decades of ministry and founder and director of the Main & Plain, a ministry that cares for ministry leaders, will lead a discussion on “recovering your call”. This workshop is not just for pastors in crisis but for ministry leaders that want to strengthen their sense of call so they can last and thrive in ministry over the long haul.

Hosts: Amos & Alison Groenendyk with Bob Palumbo [Vineyard Church - Chester Springs]

From seeking the Spirit to searching for a candidate to making the hire to a healthy transition for our church, we will share how God has guided our leadership hand-off from “Gen 1” to “Gen 2.” Come hear practical considerations and encouragements as you develop, walk out a plan, and face the emotional realities for you and your church. This is really a conversation about healthy leadership and church cultures! So whether you are in the midst of a pastoral succession or anticipating the future, come join us for this important discussion.

From the very beginning, we have been a church planting movement. Over the years we have learned a lot of things as a movement about healthy processes that facilitate healthier church plants. Multiply Vineyard has created a process that will help the planter as well as the sending church feel more confident as we participate in the mission we've been invited into. This workshop will cover the current process to plant a Vineyard Church.
