Trainer Bios:

Phil Helfer is the pastor of the Los Altos Grace Brethren Church in Long Beach, CA and co-founder with Neil Cole of Church Multiplication Associates.

Neil Cole wrote the following about Phil in Church 3.0: "Phil Helfer, an original co-founder of CMA, is actually the most radical thinker on our team.  I have learned much from him.  Phil leads a church that is more than fifty years old at a facility that has age-graded Sunday school classes and a preshcool through sixth grad school on campus.  They average between three and fourhundered people in attendance weekly.  This does not look of feel at all like an organic church, but it is transfusional. Slowly Phil has been training his leaders to think and respond more organically...This church sent us out to start Awakening Chapels." (Church 3.0; p. 114)

Bob Mabry is a pastor at Hope Community Church in Long Beach, CA. He has been connected with CMA for a long time and is on the journey of transitioning a conventional church to becoming organic in their thinking and acting. Bob is also on the leadership team of Life Together Churches. Life Together Churches (LTC) is a network that supports people hosting worship and congregational life in small group environments. The network provides everything needed to enable a local group to quickly and effectively start a small group worshiping community and sustain its life and growth.
