Training on Summerfest

A huge part of leading on Summerfest is the great training that you get.

“Train for a lifetime of ministry” is one of the 3 aims of Summerfest. We seek to train our leaders to be better equiped to serve Jesus once Summerfest is over. A big part of this is the evagelism training we run during our mid-year meetings and over Summerfest- which we put into practice when we go door knocking most afternoons during Summerfest. A number of the staff from EV Church paricipate in training the Summerfest Team, and previous leaders have said this is the stand-out feature of Summerfest for them.

Purpose &Futility


Another element of Summerfest Training is the evening talks/seminars called “Summer Sessions”. The training topic for the Summerfest “SUMMER SESSIONS” in 2010 was:

Purpose & Futility

Purpose & Futility.
Meaningless, meaningless. Everything is meaningless… Or is it?

At Summerfest 2010 we’re exporing the idea of ‘Purpose and Futility‘… “What is my purpose in life”, “what does a futile life look like”, “how do I know if I’m wasting my life”, “what is God’s will for me?”

We’re not afraid to ask the big questions- and during our evening Summer Sessions we’ll look at what God has to say in the bible as we think through this big topic.

Craig’s final talk in the series was very challenging and encouraging as we thought about God’s solution to the futility of life. (The sound quality improves through-out the talk)
