The Rev. Trey Wince will lead the first learning session at the Upper New York Annual Conference, at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, June 2 at Onondaga Community College’s SRC Arena in Syracuse.
Rev. Wince serves as the CEO of Ministry Architects, a consultancy for churches, theological institutions, and nonprofits. He also serves as the Executive Vice President of Ministry Incubators, an innovation consultancy start-up dedicated to helping missional innovators.
Rev. Wince will be zeroing in on the process of creating a discipleship pathway.
Discipleship in this era requires more clarity, vulnerability, and storytelling than we might be used to. There are many ways to go about discipleship, so while we never want to dictate a particular church's discipleship process, we do want to ensure that everyone has done the deep work it takes to answer the question: what is our discipleship pathway?
“Because we’re talking about nurturing people’s faith journeys, it’s perfectly normal to want to avoid being too specific or narrow about how discipleship is done. However, there’s healthy reflection and clarity that comes from asking questions about your church’s values, steps, and even expected results in a life of discipleship,” Rev. Wince explained.
Rev. Wince has served as a Preaching Pastor, Lead Pastor, College Director (serving students at Vanderbilt, Belmont, and Lipscomb Universities), Director of Young Adult Ministries, and international missions coordinator with Joshua Expeditions. He and his wife Debbie live in Oklahoma City, OK, as the delighted parents of Liam and Jack.
