Weekly Speaker Highlight:
George Lim Jr. is the Lead Pastor of The River Church in Connecticut, which is part of the Be the Church family. He moved to the Northeast from San Diego, CA to church plant in 2015. He is passionate about relational discipleship—following Jesus with all your heart and helping others do the same. George is committed to developing leaders and multiplying healthy ministry to see the Kingdom of God advance throughout New England and beyond.

Breakout Opportunity: "Roadmap to Revitalization"
Many churches don't need a restart — they need a roadmap. In this breakout, Pastor George Lim walks through the path from decline to renewed health and mission, offering practical steps for leaders navigating aging congregations, plateaued growth, or lost momentum toward becoming a church that's alive, sending, and multiplying again.

Weekly Speaker Highlight: KEYNOTE
Karl Vaters will be heading up the Keynote sessions at NLS this year. His heart is to help pastors of small churches (up to 90 percent of us) find the resources to lead well, and to capitalize on the unique advantages that come with pastoring a small church – something virtually every pastor will spend at least some of their ministry years doing. He also believes that big and small churches can and should work together more often – to the benefit and blessing of everyone. Karl has been in pastoral ministry for over 40 years. He speaks and writes from decades of hands-on pastoral experience.

Karl Vaters is the author of five books:
- De-Sizing the Church: How Church Growth Became a Science, Then an Obsession, and What’s Next
- The Church Recovery Guide: How Your Congregation Can Adapt and Thrive after a Crisis
- 100 Days to a Healthier Church: A Step-By-Step Guide for Pastors and Leadership Teams
- Small Church Essentials: Field-Tested Principles for Leading a Healthy Congregation of Under 250
- The Grasshopper Myth: Big Churches, Small Churches and the Small Thinking That Divides Us

Breakout Opportunity:
Attendees can choose to attend a breakout session this year to sit with Karl and do a special Q&A: How to Discover & Use what your Church does well.

If you would like to attend this breakout, make sure to sign up early to make sure you secure one of the seats!

💥Coming Tomorrow!!!💥
Dents in the Darkness is back with Justin Bleuer, Pastor at Berean Bible Church.
Tune in tomorrow as we sit down with Justin as he shares the story behind Berean’s transition into multisite, the challenges they faced along the way, and the lessons they’ve learned as they’ve worked to expand their reach while maintaining healthy culture and discipleship. What began as a vision to reach more people with the gospel has become a practical model for leadership development, church growth, and Kingdom multiplication in their region.
