During this two-part training, we will discuss the following: What is our identity as a campus fellowship, and why do we exist as a witnessing community? What is a vision, and why do we cast a vision in our fellowship? More importantly, what is the biblical vision that we need to carry out as a body of Christ? The training will also include a time for student leaders to reflect biblically and the reality of God’s work in their community. From there, leaders will be able to discern and develop a well-rounded vision for their fellowship.

This is a workshop designed to cultivate deep spiritual formation through a “rule of life”—a set of intentional rhythms and habits of grace that shape us and counteract the de-formation of university life. Students will learn how to live out their discipleship in community, being formed into the image of Christ together.

How can Christian women step into their God-given gifts of leadership in mostly male-dominated leadership structures? We will examine the theological and practical imperatives for women to take up space in organizational structures, using their voices and gifts to bless and cultivate courageous communities for the flourishing of all. We will discuss the roles of men and women in creating leadership cultures that are equal and just.

Prayer changes everything. It’s also a vital practice that Christians ought to do regularly, but shockingly enough, most Christians have never been taught how to pray. Come unlearn monkey-see-monkey-do practices, learn how Jesus taught his disciples how to pray, and learn how to connect our prayers to the campus.

​

The Christian life is meant to be lived out in the context of community. Small groups provide spaces for deeper connection, growth, exploring God’s mission with brothers and sisters in Christ, and welcoming others to encounter Jesus. Community is also messy, but beautiful things happen in that messiness. Come learn how to form, lead, and multiply small groups.

Inductive Bible Study is a great way of studying the Bible on your own or with others. As we enter into Scripture, we want to be open, attentive, and curious, paying attention to the background and historical context and how God is speaking to each one of us while being faithful to the Scriptures and letting the word speak for itself. This definitely isn’t the easiest thing to pick up. It requires practice. Come join this 2-part workshop as you learn about and lead Inductive Bible Study.

Evangelism is often misconstrued as solely overseas, or requiring a special calling. But campus fellowships can act as powerful witnessing communities. In this workshop, we’ll learn about how we can regularly engage in student outreach and about how our conduct and commitment to the common good is also of utmost importance and goes hand in hand with the declaration of the gospel.

We are called to make a defense to everyone who asks us to give an account for the hope that is in us. Yet more often we are scared of doing so because we do not know what to say. This workshop will address those concerns and bring about a sense of joy in apologetics.

What does the Gospel say about our identity as Asian Canadians? Scripture says that God created ethnicity to accomplish His purpose. If this is true, how can we redeem and reconcile with the various parts of our ethnic heritage and embrace the gifts that God has given us?

Jesus says that the second greatest commandment is, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. This is exemplified throughout the Bible in many different ways beyond just Jesus’ life and teaching. Hospitality can take on various forms but we’ll be going through the heart of hospitality and examine how Jesus calls us to care for one another and what that might look like in our relationships. 

When people talk about worship, they often misconstrue it as just singing or music. In this workshop, we will explore what worship can look like in various facets of life, and we will seek to gain a deeper understanding of how worship originates from a relationship with God. We will also examine how that relationship and understanding of God bring a deeper sense of worship to our lives.

At AFC, we have found that most of our students have many questions about Christian dating. How do I know I’m ready? What should dating look like? What’s my role as a boyfriend or a girlfriend? This workshop will be a panel with a few staff at AFC who have gone through these questions and are willing to share thoughts on dating.

Administration is often viewed as a necessary set of secular tasks that someone in a secondary support role needs to do so that “real” ministry can happen. But what if this view is deeply mistaken? In this workshop, we’ll uncover the biblical foundation for administration and challenge the divide between the sacred and the secular. Together, we’ll explore how administration is not only necessary for the body of Christ to flourish, but see how it can be an expression of stewardship, leadership, and worship.
