Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about what this event is and why you should attend it. Here's some answers.

1. Why should I attend? My church is doing fine!

Your church is not doing fine unless you are now full and planting another church. Your church growing means more people are saved for the Kingdom of Christ! Eternity’s at stake for someone’s loved ones! We cannot afford to have business as usual if the Truth is to be proclaimed. We have been blessed with the Salvation of JESUS, Sabbath, the health message, financial blessings, Adventist education, etc. We cannot sit on this, we are compelled by Christ to impart this message to others!  

2. Is this for church leaders or everyone? Why?

This is for everyone who wants to see others embrace the Everlasting Gospel & experience life change. This meeting will inspire and equip us to move His churches forward in faith. Church renewal is influenced by personal spiritual renewal.

3. Why is Dr. Kidder important?

 He has such a powerful life story that will bless you in your own journey. He is an expert in church revitalization and very relatable. Hopefully you will be inspired in your own spiritual journey!

4. Why are there 2 different weekends?

We want to give an opportunity for as many people as possible to attend around the territory. We have an urgency in our conference to strengthen the churches that have been in decline or in a plateau. The majority of NNEC churches have been in decline even before the pandemic. Now we need GOD to reinvigorate His churches all across VT, NH, and ME.

5. Will it be live-streamed?

YES PLEASE! I will need your help on this one.  Also, please record them all for Connect academy or ReGenerate website

6. How formal is this, do I need church clothes for all events?

This weekend is NOT formal, it is relaxed casual.
