MAX is Ministry Arts Xtra, a new creative ministry conference from One Way Street. It will be held July 19-22, 2011 at Grove City Nazarene Church in Grove City, Ohio (just outside of Columbus). In response to many requests for more advanced workshops, this event will give you the opportunity to go deeper with training in many creative ministry techniques such as: Puppetry, Ventriloquism, Dowel Rods, Human Video, Gospel Magic, Hand Mime, and many others.

You won't want to miss this opportunity for you and your team to learn from some of the top experts in creative ministry techniques. Classes will be more advanced in nature, and may be longer than the normal one-hour format we have at most events. This will give attendees the chance to go deeper and really hone their skills.

If you've been through the basics and are ready to challenge your skills, then MAX is the place to be! Watch for more information coming soon.

I-Fest 2012

After a great deal of prayer and discussion, One Way Street has been led to turn I-Fest into an every-other-year event. In light of the changes our world has gone through, and the challenges that many in ministry are facing, we feel this is the right decision at this time. It is our hope that the new Ministry Arts Xtra (MAX) conference will become a strong event offered on alternating years with I-Fest.

Our plan is for I-Fest to return for the summer of 2012, but we hope that many of you will join us as we take our ministries to the MAX ... July 19-22, 2011!
