24 ways is the advent calendar for web geeks. Each day throughout December we publish a daily dose of web design and development goodness to bring you all a little Christmas cheer.

AND Conference Media Player

Granger Community Church hosted the AND Conference this fall. Generously, GCCWired offers the videos of the main sessions for free viewing. See them here.

The conversation focused on “the Genius of AND – the power to combine missional AND attractional strategies to reach our changing world. 

They wrestled with the question: “What would it look like if established churches used their strength and size to release missional communities AND virus-like growth?”

Arts Mash Up

My favorite part of this conference is the Arts Mash Up. GCC gives several ministries of difference sizes the same message to present. It is amazing to see the different productions revolving around the same theme.

Here are some notes from the web on the conference:
