Tim Keller the Reformer Joins ECM's Exponential '08 Conference.

Tim Keller ( Reformer and Presbyterian) is joining Emergents and ECM- friendlies as well as feminists at the ECM seminare (I could not find any indication on the scheduale that the women would teach only women, therefore, true to the feminist view of ECM, women will teach men on spiritual matters), Exponential:

Francis Chan (although not considered Reformed, many who like The Master's College and those connected to the seminary, consider him a theological friend)

Erwin McManus - ECM leader

Alan Hirsch - ECM leader

Ed Setzer - ECM leader

Steve Childers (professor at Reformed Theological Seminary) - presumably Reformed

Debbie Jones: "With 30 years of ministry experience she has conducted numerous workshops and seminars throughout the United States and provides coaching for children's leaders and ministry spouses."

Kelly Kastens - "Kelly has served for five years as the Worship Program Director at Mountain Christian Church where she gets to do what she loves most - create environments for folks to encounter the living God. She is also a pastor's wife."

Tammy Melchien - "Tammy serves as Kids' City Champion for Community Christian Church, a multi-site church in the western suburbs of Chicago. She also provides Leadership and Children's Ministry coaching through NewThing Networks. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Tammy spent 6 years in campus ministry at Eastern Illinois University before leaving the cornfields for the bright lights of the city in 2002. She loves identifying leaders, developing leaders, talking to leaders, leading leaders... basically if you are a leader she loves you!"

Sommer Wisher - "Sommer is the Family Life Minister at LifePointe Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. In February 2008, LifePointe launched its second site, intended to be the first of several multi-site locations. Through that experience, Sommer has gained valuable insight into how to effectively make family ministry work by engaging leaders, managing expectations and ultimately, delivering a successful program that ignites parents and kids to own their faith. Sommer is a graduate of Kentucky Christian University and is all about making life fun and planning her awesome wedding in June of 2009!"
