  1. The meeting will be held in "The People's Church."
  2. The presentation will be from a nondenominational leadership training organization headed up by Dr. John Maxwell of INJOY.

If you read the site they list above for INJOY you will find the following information about "the law of growth." One hardly needs the Gospel when the Law will do very well, thank you.

Experience the Law of Explosive Growth

The new millennium is dawning with more changes and greater opportunities than ever before. With all the change we have witnessed, one thing hasn't changed... Everything still rises and falls on leadership! Getting ready for the new millennium requires reproductive leadership. Not just any kind of leadership - but rather one that offers positive changes with priorities on multiplication, not addition. If you do the math - Leader's Math - you'll see that only one equation makes sense: to add growth, lead followers; to multiply growth lead leaders. Leadership 2000 with John C. Maxwell allows you and your team to experience this principle in a revolutionary new way. Building Authentic, Reproductive Teams Best of all, you can put the principle into practice by bringing others with you. It's based on the idea that explosive growth will occur as true multiplication is set in motion. Leadership 2000 is designed to build authentic and reproducing teams, not autocratic, restrictive leaders. Every session of this supercharged one-day conference targets true synergy, by focusing on equipping the individual and the team to achieve optimal results.
