Being "in," but Not "of" the World: Homeless Youth, the Arts, & Discipleship
Part of Christ's last prayer before his arrest was that his followers would be effective through "unity" and "being in, but not of the world." Homeless Youth and the Arts have little Christian presence, physical needs, and high skepticism. Many times those who desire to impact the culture end up being "sucked into" the culture.

How to Reach the "Unreachables"
Cornerstone is a gathering of frontline ministries from around the U.S. whose purpose is to show how to do outreach to several groups of seemingly unreachables, from bikers to witches, Native Americans to rainbows. A number of speakers will share how they do it from the streets to the woods to even the concert venues to suburban youth. www.JesusVillage.net

Underground & Alternative Worship
As Pastor Trevor has traveled around and visited many different Underground and Alternative Ministries, he noticed that likewise there were a number of new forms of worship emerging.

He will also share insights from when he led the worship time at the "Global Underground and Emerging Ministries Roundtable" last summer in Germany.
