The IMC Practical Ministry Series is designed to better equip today's pastor's for ministry. 
​

From the July 1st 2016 IMC Newsletter:
​
"Illinois Mennonite Conference is committed to equipping pastors, church leaders and congregation members to engage in practical ministry. To that end, we are launching a series of Practical Ministry events. This series will include weekend and one-day equipping events (quarterly) and a podcast that features IMC leaders/congregations who are equipping their congregations to engage their neighbors with the gospel. The overall vision of the Practical Ministry Series is to start with a different set of questions, engage those questions with the gospel, and explore ways to use our everyday lives to minister to others."

Other Practical Ministry Series events:

​
Past Series Events:
Into the Neighborhood: A workshop to equip participants with tools to help people spread the gospel. 


Women's Retreat

​May 5-7, 2017
While not limited to just IMC women, or even Mennonites, this Women's Retreat is meant to bring women together for a time of worship, reflection, and fellowship.  

Our speaker, Asia Frye, will help us explore how we as women are made in God’s own image, and how we can model ourselves after Jesus. We will embrace what it means for us to be women, and encourage each other on our journeys.

**The program and input will conclude on Saturday afternoon. However, participants who desire additional time to rest and recharge are welcome to stay through Sunday morning.

IMC Women Pastor's Retreat

September 17-19, 2017
This retreat is offered for women pastors to connect, reflect, and fellowship. It is an opportunity to take a mini Sabbatical from the day-to-day rhythms of life in order to recharge and better serve those you are ministering to.   

Youth Leader's Retreat

October 27-29, 2017
​This short get-away provides an opportunity for Youth Leaders (lay people and paid ministers!!) to gather and share ideas, connect and learn from other youth workers, learn from a speaker, and recharge while enjoying Menno Haven.

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
