It comes along only once a year and the countdown to this year's "The Heart behind Doing Church As A Team" (DCAT) is on! This year's conference is over, the buzz is growing and we can't contain our excitement for what God is going to do.

This year's DCAT conference will give birth to a stronger breed of Christians. Through the conference, attendees from our New Hope congregation and churches around the world will be moved, touched, filled and changed by God!

This year's conference has been completely revamped and features all new sessions and breakouts covering nearly aspect of ministry.

With a stronger emphasis on discipleship, attendees will grow closer to God through practical, Biblical, Life, and Leadership Essentials breakout sessions. Not to mention the new sessions that Pastor Wayne Cordeiro and Dr. Paul Risser are preparing to teach - we will be in for stellar growth in Christ!

Although this year's conference has been completely revamped, what is NOT different is the spirit of excellence, mixed with ingredients of prayer, creative services, greathearted investment in planning and preparation and the heart of love to nurture our people! We will also offer people who have not yet connected into service, opportunities to get involved in a serving ministry.

"It is my hope and prayer that the thousands of believers, would seriously invest in their relationship with God, by attending this year's conference," says Pastor Rod Shimabukuro, New Hope's Equipping Director. "I strongly believe that those who take time, make the necessary sacrifices to plan and attend the conference will be eternally affected by God, to become a more effective disciple of Christ."

Make the time to invest in your relationship with Christ. You won't regret your decision to be a part of this years "The Heart behind Doing Church as a Team" conference!
