App Sessions are practical breakout sessions covering all areas of ministry. Each attendee will have the opportunity to attend three App Sessions on Wednesday at the ARC Conference. App Sessions cover topics including; leadership, marriage and ministry, mental health, discipleship, growth track, children’s and student ministry, finance, worship, production, multi-site, outreach and more.
After the morning session, head on over to the Highlands College campus for Lunch on the Lawn; 3660 Grandview Pkwy, Birmingham, AL 35243. We’ll enjoy food trucks, games, and lots of time to connect with others.
Join us, on April 23, after the evening session, for the ARC Conference After Party! The After Party is always a crowd favorite. We will head outside, where we’ll have tons of food, games, and fun for you and your team.
Highlands College students are educated, equipped, and sent to serve the local church in response to Luke 10:2. We invite you to interview recent graduates on-site at this year’s ARC Conference! You’ll get to review resumes beforehand and schedule times to connect with these leaders in-person.
