A Fellowship for Transformation

Starting Tuesday, January 22nd, we will be holding a weekly prayer & sharing meeting asking the Lord to bring Transformation to the Chicagoland area. The meeting will be held every Tuesday morning from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at Rolling Meadows Community Church, 2720 Kirchoff Rd. in Rolling Meadows. As you pull into the Church parking lot, use the southeast entrance and walk down the hallway to Room 111. Please come and of course spread the word. Let's continue to expect the Lord to have mercy on us and bring about His purposes throughout Chicagoland.

Hope to see you.

In His Joy,
Joe Manahan

Chicagoland Conference Addresses Outreach and Volunteers

Sr. Pastors Survey: What We Need The Most

Catalyst sent a survey to dozens of senior pastors asking them what they felt were the most pressing needs in their church.


The results showed that without exception, outreach/evangelism and volunteer recruitment/team building ranked as areas they wanted to see improve. Catalyst will intentionally and strategically address these areas of concern through learning communities offered during our "Bonfire" Gatherings.

Plan on bringing your whole team to our February 22 Gathering to attend the following Breakout Workshops:

1. Senior Pastors Huddle

Led by Pastor Scott Chapman, The Chapel

2. Engaging Spiritual Seekers in Life-Changing Conversations

Led by Garry Poole, Willow Creek Community Church

3. What Every Leader Needs to Know About Volunteers

Led by Dick Loizeaux, Church Health and Growth Consultant

4. Best Practices for Building a Prayer Focus in Your Church

Led by Debbie Stackhouse, Director of Renewal, Catalyst

5. 7 Keys to Email Marketing for Your Church

Led by Steve Robinson, Regional Director, Constant Contact
