Creekside Christian Church | Elk Grove, CA
What is the Work as Worship Conference?
This conference is for all followers of Jesus to be encouraged, equipped, and empowered to live out your faith in every area of your life, especially in your place of work. Whether you are a business leader, stay at home parent, teacher, in the medical field, retired or wherever God has you, YOU have a purpose and opportunity to intentionally utilize the platform where you spend most of your week as an opportunity for worship and to live missionally for God's glory!
Keynote Speakers
Kevin & Sherry Harney
Rev. Dr. Kevin G. Harney and his wife Sherry are the founders of Organic Outreach International, a registered 501(c)(3) organization, which began as a ministry of Shoreline Church in Monterey. In 2009, they felt the call to move to California to serve at Shoreline Church in Monterey. For decades, they had been living out the principles of Organic Outreach in their personal lives and ministry. Once he had his feet firmly planted on the ground at Shoreline, he began a cultural transformation of the church based on the Organic Outreach series of books.
