At our upcoming church leadership conference, we will explore the power of kindness and its impact on our churches and communities. As leaders, it is our responsibility to create welcoming and accepting environments for all who enter our doors. By embracing kindness and empathy, we can foster a sense of belonging and connection among our congregations and ultimately make a positive impact on the world around us.
As we come together, we will discuss the importance of being kind churches and kind leaders. We will learn how to better serve our weekly guests and create a sense of community and support within our congregations. We will also explore practical ways to incorporate kindness into our daily interactions and decision-making processes.
We invite you to join us and discover the transformative power of kindness. By coming together and sharing our experiences and insights, we can learn from one another and take steps toward becoming the kind, welcoming, and accepting churches that we strive to be. Together, we have the power to make a positive difference in the world.
You’ll hear from nearly 40 leading experts inside the church and in the business world on how to connect with people and make them want to keep coming back.
Our focus is on creating welcoming environments for members and guests each weekend.

“I have attended many worthwhile conferences in my ministry career. While I had full confidence this conference would be worthwhile I was hesitant to attend another virtual event. I was BLOWN away with the exceptional speakers, expansive content, the flow and ease in the schedule, and the high quality of video and audio. This is in the top 3 of all time conferences I’ve attended! Thank you Greg and team for all your hard work!”
