Workshops Available

Lampstand Ministries will be offering workshops for everyone attending the conference. Different topics are geared for anyone that has recently attended their first weekend and even for those leading their Community in hosting Great Banquet and Awakening Weekends.

Over the course of two days you will be given an opportunity to learn from national leaders the "how-to's" for meaningful and effective Great Banquet and Awakening weekends and to keep your individual fire burning. We will also have mini-workshop stations in the common area where you can "drop-in" for a quick and easy informational presentation or packet.
