Our initial keynote speaker will be author Tod Bolsinger, whose books include “Canoeing the Mountains: Christian Leadership in Uncharted Territory” and “Tempered Resilience: How Leaders Are Formed in the Crucible of Change.” Bolsinger brings almost 40 years of experience in leading and advising Christian ministry leaders in how to lead when we go “off the map.” He is keen to help us know how to lead when we are brave enough to admit we do not know what to do.
At the other end of the conference, our closing educator keynote speaker is Brandon Fleming, a highly awarded and sought-after educator, entrepreneur, author, and speaker. Fleming is also a former debate coach at Harvard University and Founder & CEO of the Veritas School of Social Sciences, a prestigious private school in Atlanta, Georgia.

"I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist"
2024-10-20 18:00 - 20:00 | Sonrise Church – Hillsboro, Oregon, 6701 NE Campus Way Dr., Hillsboro, OR, 97124
This FREE event is being created and sponsored by Prince of Peace Lutheran Church (LCMS) in west Portland in response to a growing concern of, at best, misunderstanding and, at worst, antagonism among an increasing number of people in our Portland area communities about the truth of who God is and what He is doing in the world. We want to provide an opportunity for those with questions to hear first-hand the compelling evidence for the truth of the Bible, and the reality of God’s power and presence in our lives. Sonrise Church has agreed to partner with us in this event for the sake of the Gospel, and to provide a venue with enough seating to accommodate the expected attendance.
Over the last fifty years there has been a precipitous drop in the percentage of Christians in the United States. In the 1970’s the Christian population was approximately 90%. As of 2024 only 64% of Americans now self-identify as Christian, and Pew Research Center predicts that number could fall below 50% in the next few decades. According to a recent survey, approximately half of the people living in the Pacific Northwest say religion is not important to them.
For Christians, the presentation will provide practical tools to logically articulate the rational arguments for God and a life in Christ. For non-Christians, the goal is to place a “pebble in the shoe” by pointing out the deficiency of misleading world views, which may lead to deeper exploration and further study regarding the truth of the Bible, and ultimately to a relationship with Christ. We hope to draw participation from the Christian community in the entire Portland metro region, and ideally also expose a multitude of non-believers to Christianity.

2024-11-11 17:00 - 18:00 | Online Event
When the flight attendant gives instructions before takeoff, one of the scripted pieces we always hear is: “Put your mask on first, before helping others.” We tend to be so busy serving others that we often neglect taking care of ourselves.
You are invited to a free webinar on Monday, Nov. 11, from 5-6 p.m. PDT (7-8 p.m. CDT) where we will focus on what it means to set the example and be a healthy leader that multiplies healthy leaders, led by KINDLE friend and Iowa District West staffer, Rhonda Mohr. This is a great opportunity for staff/teams to participate together at church or from the convenience of your own home. We are a continuous work in progress as we respond to God’s great love for us in Christ Jesus. Let’s gather with that grace in mind as we seek to be more Christ-like.
