Our conferences and retreats help us regain focus, provide fellowship and generally encourage us in ministry. They are designed to assist each person in their spiritual journey of walking with our Lord Jesus Christ and encouraging us in our ministry to others. Please join us for these spiritually-enriching times.
Fall Conference
Date: October 4, 2025Speaker: Mike Jordahl and Mark Scaffidi
Topic: "A Life Worth Living"
Location: Eastminster Presbyterian Church, Wichita, KS
This year’s Fall Conference will be one you won’t want to miss! Mike Jordahl is no stranger to the Kansas Communities Ministry and is a dynamic speaker. He joined The Navigators (c) staff in 1981 and he and his wife Nancy have served with The Navigators in Iowa, Kansas, New England and Colorado. Mike has had numerous Navigator roles and currently serves as Senior Adviser to the Collegiate Leadership Team.
Mark Scaffidi and his wife Annie serve as Campus Directors for the Navigators at Wichita State University. Since graduating from Iowa State, Mark and Annie have dedicated their lives to living life alongside others as they seek to create contagious communities centered around walking deeply with Jesus together, and empowering others to do the same.
Mark and Mike will encourage each of us in our walk with Christ, reminding us of the importance of keeping Jesus and our relationship with him central to all we do. They will highlight the simplicity of disciplemaking by helping us explore how Jesus approached making disciples. And, they will help us embrace finishing well in the work God has assigned to each of us.
The three messages they will share are “Our Calling” — Clinging to Jesus, “Our Work” — Laboring like Jesus and “Our Race” — Looking to Jesus.
It will be helpful to memorize Hebrews 12:1-2 in preparation for this conference.
