Unprecedented
That was the word that became infamous in 2020.
Let’s be honest.
It was a brutal year.
Pastors are tired.
Leaders are tired.
Your volunteers are exhausted.
Thankfully, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Churches and society as a whole are opening back up, and we’re going to need to be at our best to engage a lost and hurting world with the good news.
We have gathered a diverse group of over 40
Thinkers
Communicators
Speakers
Authors
Storytellers
Pastors
Pioneers
TO ENCOURAGE US
to dream again
inspire those we oversee
lead like never before
Join us on this adventure of reaching, keeping, and engaging with all your guests.
