This workshop will explore the biblical theology for this movement and ways to reclaim the purpose of business beyond profit maximization and demonstrate many small and large models that are working well.

This workshop will teach how to draw strength from a Christian identity to advocate for economic justice at the local, state and national levels.

This workshop will explore the critical need for followers of Jesus Christ in our cities and the power that can be unleashed through them. The presentation will use some examples of how local leadership foundations are building bridges and working relationships with a city's faith leaders, congregations, and ministries as they improve the lives of the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized.

There are many sources of conflict, but how can we transform it into an opportunity for positive change? We will explore how to address conflict constructively in our personal lives, work places and communities in which we minister.

With the rise of Latino communities increasing across our nation, more people are becoming interested in ministering in the Latino Community. Come and learn the distinctions of working with a very diverse Latino population and some of the keys to effective ministry in the barrio.

The continued increase of the Latino population in our nation and the dynamics between African Americans and Latinos that often live side by side in urban communities are of crucial importance. In this workshop we will explore how our respective church communities can forge an honest dialogue that can lead to authentic partnership, cooperation, and reconciliation for the benefit of our communities, to the Glory of God.

In the Christian community development model in the urban context, relocators often move into a neighborhood and initiate programs. In that neighborhood are numerous lifetime residents with immense leadership capabilities who are often already functioning as leaders in an informal way. Who should lead and when should it happen? Is neighborhood leadership vital? Should relocators "work themselves out of a job?" A discussion of these issues in the light of New Song in Baltimore, a CCD model in existence for 17 years.

Recognizing conflicting core values as the primary obstacle to understanding and reconciliation, From Suburbia to Urbana reveals common leadership struggles that many well-intentioned leaders from a suburban culture often face when initiating community development efforts in urban environments for the first time.

Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil gives the Friday evening plenary address at CCDA 2005.

“Emerging Church” has become a phrase symbolizing the quest to understand the cultural shifts of the younger generation as they interact (or don’t interact) with church. What happens when the dialogue of emerging church people meets the 3 R’s vision of CCDA? There are as many questions as answers, but this workshop will be a discussion with 3-4 churches and ministries that reach a largely 20-something audience while trying to instill the values of CCDA.

This interactive workshop will frame out the characteristics of exceptional leadership drawing from the Posner Leadership Challenge materials and look at leadership and servant leadership as impacted by our faith base.

Learn what Christian community development is all about and how it differs from other community development efforts.

Institutional and denominational churches are struggling to grow and impact culture in a growing postmodern environment.
