and the future of the XP-SP role |

Washington D.C.

Only a few times a year do we have XP-Days. Close up time with great topics and Dr. Fletcher. XP-Days are popular! Space is restricted to 20 XPs.
A National XP-Day in Washington, D.C.
- Great presentations on pertinent topics
- Who does what in your church? What belongs to the XP and what to the SP? How are you resolving the creative tension?
- Work through the great case study on "The Daughter Church on Life Support" both Part 1 and the ongoing story.
- You will also have:
- Small Group interaction led by Dr. Fletcher
- Customized agenda setting: bring your questions!
- Networking and great relationships
Don't say we didn't warn you if it gets full.
For this one-day event in Washington, we feature great people and issues! We will continue the "classic" discussion about "Best and Worst Case Leadership Scenarios." There is plenty of open agenda time in the afternoon. The final speaker is you, the XP who brings questions, thoughts and ideas!
Our XP-Days bring together leaders to talk about relevant issues. We don't examine monotonous programs or
extol the size of our churches. We hone our skills through life-on-life discussion.
David Fletcher
Founder & Host XPastor
By drawing ministers from around your region and the nation, National XP-Days challenge cultural perspectives and promote the best practices of church leadership. National XP-Days are led by David Fletcher.
National XP-Days are limited to 20 XPs to foster close discussion on pertinent topics. Authentic interaction is key. Don't bring pride about the size of your church or pretense in the extent of your ministry.
Our schedule follows the format of major presentations on core issues, followed by large group discussion and small group interaction.
Several sessions are left open-ended, enabling each participant to bring questions for the group to examine.
- Cost: $175, includes books and lunch. Enroll here
- Please pay the event fee by credit card. Pay here
- Bring a second person or third person for extra discussion and growth. Bring your Senior Pastor, Lead Pastor, Board member or someone who you are mentoring. As David says, "Never go anywhere alone: make the most of travel and ministry times by mentoring others in it."

The Daughter Church of Life Support
This is a great "Harvard style" case study, meaning that you will have to vote on the possible outcome. Come and learn as the real life story unfolds.
""A Daughter Church on Life Support" by Dr. David Fletcher
In the summer of 2009, the Pastoral Leaders and the Board of Trustees of The Chapel knew they had to make a decision. Years before, The Chapel had helped plant a daughter church, Valleyview Chapel of Wadsworth, Ohio. Valleyview had grown and their entrepreneurial pastor took out a mortgage and built a big building.

Our XP-Day Sponsor
Thanks to our friends at Generis Partners. True giving is a deeply transformative act. At Generis, "we believe it's less about raising capital and more about raising the spiritual consciousness of people. It's about meeting churches where they are and helping them achieve their own true vision according to their unique culture."
Whether that entails a video venue, multi-campus site, or raising a daunting amount of capital, Generis consultants are ready to share the Leadership's risk—because they understand it.
Brad Leeper will be joining us and continuing his discussion with David, "best and worst practices in the church." Brad and David have been hanging out at XPastor events for 6 years and have tons to share.
