Who is this conference geared towards?
It’s geared towards children’s leaders, pastors and volunteers.
Why “Napkin Conference?”
Actually, this whole conference was literally birthed while Pastor Justyn was sitting at his computer doodling down ideas on his napkin that his Pepsi was sitting on. Southwest Airlines started by two guys discussing ideas that they wrote down on a napkin. One of Picasso’s earliest sketches to a famous drawing was done on a napkin. Many people’s dreams begin on a napkin. We want to work together to take your ideas off the napkin. Too many people die in our world with a bunch of napkins that are never made a reality.
What makes Napkin Conference different?
With all the great children's conferences out there I hear this question the most. There is no doubt that Napkin Conference will have world-class teaching. A lot of the conference will be dedicated to you--the children's pastors and leaders--on how to develop your ideas. It's our desire that you can literally come to this conference with an idea and not just leave inspired like so many conferences out there, but to actually leave with knowledge and tools to see your "napkin ideas" come to life.
Napkin Conference will give you an opportunity to see a real Las Vegas Show on the famous Strip. Why are we doing this? We're doing this because these are award winning shows that can inspire your imagination for children's ministry. We want you to go to a show and think "We can do that!"
Napkin Conference will always have new and young emerging voices in children's ministry. We believe that there are numerous voices out in the world that if given the opportunity (aka Napkin Conference) can change the world. While we also celebrate and receive from the generations who have made children's ministry what it is today. There's so much we can learn from the young and experienced.
Las Vegas is such a fun place to relax and have fun. We want you to come here not just for the teaching, ideas, etc., but we also want you to relax and refuel while visiting the "Entertainment Capital of the World".
What’s the main thing you hope I leave with?
Everyone is different and can take many different things back home to their church, however we believe that you will not only be inspired, but you will leave with bigger and better ideas for you and your ministry than when you got here. In fact, we want to help develop your ideas by working with you in large and small group sessions and by taking you off campus to a real Las Vegas Show!
Are we really going to see a real live Las Vegas Show?
Absolutely! And, not one of those lame shows off the Strip. Once you arrive to check-in for Napkin Conference, we will give you your ticket for an award-winning Las Vegas show with seats that are valued at $143! The show will be Thursday, February 25th.
I’ve never been to Las Vegas, what should I expect?
A great time! There are plenty of fun things to do that don’t have to “stay in Vegas.” Las Vegas is the most visited city in the world and the entertainment capital of the world. There are many shows, restaurants and of course our world-famous Las Vegas Strip.
Where exactly is the conference being held at?
Napkin Conference is being held at The Church at South Las Vegas campus located at 3051 W Horizon Ridge Pkwy, Henderson, NV 89052
What made you invite these speakers?
Children’s ministry is amazing and it’s hard to find one person that everyone will connect with, so we invited many of the world’s finest. We invited young leaders because we believe that God is raising up new fresh leaders that aren’t afraid to take chances. We invited the experienced because we believe that they have so much successful (and some not-so-successful) knowledge and advice that we can learn from. We strongly believe in the local church and this is why we invited local church children’s pastors to speak. These are the men and women actually doing the ministry not just talking about it.
