The two guest keynote speakers at the upcoming Engage Conference in Atlanta are pastors who have built dynamic, life-giving churches.
Shawn Lovejoy pastors the Mountain Lake Church in Cumming, Georgia. According to the church Web site, the congregation is “committed to being a church for people who have been disconnected from God and the church for whatever the reason.”
“So many people are turned off from God and the church,” the site continues. “Yet they are still looking for something. That something is often a place to belong and a place to become. If you are looking to give God and church one more chance then Mountain Lake Church is for you. At Mountain Lake, our promise to you is that you will love the difference. You will experience messages you can relate to, music that is uplifting and exciting, real relationships, and it will be the best day of your child’s week.”
Lovejoy also leads churchplanters.com, a comprehensive church planting Web site resource.
As founding and senior pastor of Church of the Highlands, Chris Hodges is known for his relevant teaching style and passion for raising up leaders all around the world to fulfill the Great Commission. Church of the Highlands was founded in 2001 and is located in Birmingham, Alabama.
Chris, and his wife, Tammy, are passionate about providing a life-giving church focused on the simplicity of the Gospel and the power of an intimate relationship with a loving God. Chris’ leadership skills are changing the way church is done worldwide. Under his leadership, Church of the Highlands offers 18 worship services each weekend at seven different campuses in Alabama and has grown to over 12,000 members. Chris has a deep passion for developing leaders and planting life-giving churches. He co-founded ARC (Association of Related Churches) in 2001 which has planted over 150 churches across the USA.
Also leading sessions during Engage will be Dr. Paul L. Walker and Dr. Raymond F. Culpepper. Both pastored leading Church of God congregations for decades before they were elected to the post of general overseer.
