Waldrep said the first workshop will be a broad overview of different cultural trends, and how they impact the Church.
The second workshop will focus on the diversity of faith and beliefs.
"Someone says they are a Christian," Waldrep said. "We have to find out what that means to that person. 92 percent of adults in American say they believe in God. The question is which God to they worship."
Waldrep said the third workshop will focus on whether or not Christians should get involved with marketplace evangelist, or should they keep their relationship with God a private matter.
