Sustaining Pastoral Excellence Forum

Dr. John Jackson

Sponsored by the Fresno-Clovis Pastor Clusters and One by One Leadership

February 19, 2008

8:30 am – 2:30 pm
Cornerstone Conference Center

Come join Senior Pastors and their pastoral staff from across the Valley in this outstanding opportunity to learn how to sustain pastoral excellence. John Jackson is a coach and mentor to many leading pastors across the Western U.S

Keynote Speaker: Dr. John Jackson – Pastor, author, coach, mentor and leader

John Jackson is the founding and Senior Pastor of Carson Valley Christian Center in Minden, Nevada and the President of VisionQuest Ministries. John has had over 25 years experience in leadership, including roles in the local church, parachurch ministry and with key business leaders. John is a gifted communicator of Biblical truth and life application and has demonstrated expertise in vision casting, leadership development, strategic planning, administration, and financial management.

Carson Valley Christian Center launched its first worship service in February of 1998. Supported by two large churches in Southern California, a region of American Baptists in Northern California & Nevada, and a number of individuals, the church has become a model for planting a "High Impact Church". Over 1,800 people now attend worship each weekend; an amazing aspect of this reality is that only 100,000 people live within 30 miles of the church and only 5% attend church on a given weekend.

John formerly served as Executive Minister of the American Baptist Churches of the Pacific Southwest (1993-1997) where he headed a mission staff supporting and encouraging the ministries of 270 churches located in four Western states. John is a graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara (PhD, M.A., in Educational Administration), Fuller Theological Seminary (M.A. in Theology/ Christian Formation), and Chapman University (B.A. in Religion/Christian History, cum laude).

... and you will be in the right place.

On a personal note, prayers are appreciated for my (Tom Sims') family as we are dealing with issues of our grandchildren being removed from their mothers' home and, consequently, from us for the time being. CPS is trying to fast track the approval process for them to be placed with us in foster care since there is no clear, legally established relationship. One of the boys is our grandson through our son, but he was in the process of trying to prove parentage when this happened. The other is simply our grandson through love and mutual choice. We have been raising them half of the week for quite a while and are very anxious about their well being. The good part is that they have been removed from a dangerous environment and a young couple is being compelled to get some help that they really need. There is also a little baby girl involved who is only a few weeks old with whom we have no real relationship, b ut much concern. Her name is Adriana and she needs our prayers along with Kaibian and Elijah.
