ADVANCE '24 // Renew

Join us at Advance ‘24: Renew, where church leaders will be equipped to revitalize their ministries, activate their congregations, and reconnect with their communities.

Jeff will provide hands-on strategies that you can implement immediately to activate your congregation and expand your church’s reach.

ADVANCE 2023: Leading Change

IN OUR EARLIEST YEARS WE WERE A MOVEMENT TO BE RECKONED WITH. WE WERE UNITED AND HOLY.

Not so much now. Our autonomy, meant to release and empower us, pushes us further from one another toward independence. Our universities, conceived to equip and release new ministers, no longer operate as incubators for relationship and innovation. Our large events, once the heartbeat of the Movement, are more like museums than movement makers.

In response to the challenges we face, it is crucial that we come together under the banner of a common Kingdom Cause. Our collective growth is the key to equipping ourselves and our key leaders with the skills needed to lead meaningful change, not only within our churches but also into the world beyond.
