What is a Virtual Global Symposium?

A Two Hour Interactive Learning Experience for Church Leaders

The 6:4 Fellowship’s Virtual Global Symposium is a gathering of leaders, to discuss a particular topic in biblical ministry, presented on the Zoom platform. The 6:4 Fellowship uses nationally known speakers to address these topics from their specific church, para-church, or ministry experiences. Each presentation, and any application, is then discussed by those in attendance in break-out rooms, broken out by geographical regions and roles in their present ministries.

These sessions have been very insightful for those in full-time ministry bringing different perspectives, ideas, and inspiration for them to apply in their local settings. The Virtual Global Symposium is also a great opportunity to fellowship with like-minded leaders around relevant ministry topics.

Dr. Jarrett Stephens Senior Pastor of Champion Forest Baptist Church

A native of Louisiana, Jarrett graduated from Ouachita Baptist University. He received his Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and his Doctor of Ministry from Liberty Theological Seminary. Jarrett also serves on the boards of Dallas Baptist University and Houston Church Planting Network, which clearly points to his passions of serving the least of these in the inner cities, to raising up the next generation of Christian leaders, and to equipping churches to be on mission. Jarrett is the author of: The Mountains Are Calling: Making the Climb for a Clearer View of God and Ourselves, and The Always God: He Hasn’t Changed, and You Are Not Forgotten. He also hosts The Forward with Jarrett Stephens podcast. Jarrett and his wife, Debbie, have four daughters: Riley, Kelsey, Cameron, and Landry.

Ricky Cassford Party Emcee!

Ricky Cassford has been in ministry nearly his whole life. Growing up in the home of Salvation Army pastors, he has always enjoyed media, activities, and ministries that edify the Church. For the last 26 years he has volunteered with his local church leadership to encourage spiritual growth within the church-body through teaching, facilitating small groups, worship, as well as writing, organizing, and performing dramatic presentations for special events and Day Camps. Ricky’s heart beats strongly for men taking up “the mantle of Dad-hood;” to intentionally pour into their children. He is the author of the children’s book, “A Magnificent Treasure,” which captures a father’s love for his daughter in a fun and fantastical way. Ricky serves as the Director of Communications for the ministries of Strategic Renewal and lives in Lone Tree, CO with his beautiful wife, Heidi, and two of their four children. 

Hosts:

Daniel Henderson – Global Director for The 6:4 Fellowship

As a senior pastor for nearly three decades, Daniel Henderson brought prayer-based revitalization to thousands in congregations in California and Minnesota. Now, as the President of Strategic Renewal and Global Director of The 6:4 Fellowship, Daniel is dedicating his full-time efforts to help congregations across the country and world experience renewal. 

Dennis Henderson – North American Director for The 6:4 Fellowship

Dennis Henderson left the senior pastorate after 54 years of pastoring to become the North America Director for The 6:4 Fellowship. He continues to consult with his home church, Northlake Church in Lago Vista, Texas, as the Pastor of Kingdom Advancement and Prayer. He and Billie have been married since 1965, and have four adult children and nine grandchildren. Billie and Dennis have a passion to help ministry couples and support the ministry of prayer in the local church through The 6:4 Fellowship.
