These sessions will be offered Thursday through Saturday mornings to all ministers who wish to attend. The topics are varied, but focus on training those in every position of church team and group leadership skills to lead effectively.
Sessions will include “Becoming an Effective Leader”, “Why People Follow”, “Agape Love”, “Developing People Around You”, and “Increasing Your Faith”.
Women’s Sessions
These Thursday and Friday morning sessions are offered to all of the women of San Salvador with a focus on growing in faith as a woman.

On Saturday, the women will join the men in the General Sessions.
Abigail Association
While the women of the Life-Giving Leadership Conference join the men in the General Sessions, the WCCM Partners who taught in the Thursday and Friday sessions will partner with Janis Watkins and Abigail Association to bring a word of encouragement to the Hope Center nearby.
