Exponential 2013 Church Planter Retreat + Covenant Connections
You DO NOT Want to Miss This:
A Church Planter Adventure in Three Parts!
I've hooked us up with another phenomenal resort (way better AND cheaper than hotels), available from Sat April 20, 4pm to Sat April 27 check-out.
Both the Dept. of Church Growth & Evangelism and the East Coast Conference are providing significant scholarships and underwriting to make this super accessible for everyone.
Check out the details below. I'll keep this post updated as needed so you can always find the latest info right here.

Before the Exponential Conference fully kicks-off, you'll have the opportunity to hang-out at the resort, maybe hit an attraction, relax, and connect with other Covenant church planters from across the country.- Early Arrivals Sat or Sun: Arrive at Resort as early as Sat April 20, 4pm (Jason & his family will already be there), or anytime after that (the ECConf will coordinate rental cars and rides)
- Mon April 22, 1:00pm - Tue April 23, 12:00pm: Covenant Connections during the Exponential Pre-Conference slot
- Mon After 5pm: "Free Time" back at the Resort or out on your own. We'll always do dinner together every night for those who want to join in
Part 2 | Exponential Conference

This is the Main Conference, with excellent general sessions, tons of break-outs and workshops, and particular tracks you can mix and match.- Tue April 22, 1:00pm - Thu April 25, 12:00pm (days end at 5:00pm)
- Registration: Register NOW by following this process:
- email both jasonrcondon@gmail.com & nils.peterson@covchurch.org, with the Subject: "Exponential 2013: Any Pre-Paid Spots Left?"
- If none are still available, you can register with this link to get a deep discount: http://www.exponential.org/shop/stadia/ (for friends of Stadia, which they say are "People who are as passionate about church planting as we are." So you'll qualify :)
- Rides: We'll drive there and back each day from the resort.
- Lunch: We'll have lunch fixings for everyone to make their own to take (not much really available at the Conference)
- Dinner: the Exponential schedule on Tue & Wed ends at 5:00pm. We'll make dinner together back at the resort each night
Part 3 | ECConf Church Planters Retreat
Sure, the whole thing is an incredible retreat, but this part is just for us!- Thu April 25, 1:00pm - Sat April 27 (check-out by 10:00am, but pool and facility still available)
- We'll debrief Exponential, look back over this past year, and dream and shape plans for the ongoing future of the church planting on the East Coast Conference.
- Plus there'll be plenty of unstructured time just for hanging out and building strong friendships
