Find Your Fit:
Custom Learning Tracks for Every Stage of Ministry
Finally, a conference that understands your unique context.
We know that communication strategies for a church of 50 look vastly different than those for a church of 5,000. That’s why this year, we are introducing Church Size & Growth-Stage Tracks.
Whether you are a solo volunteer juggling it all or a director leading a multi-campus team, we have designed a specific learning path just for you. Stop trying to adapt advice that doesn’t fit your reality—join the track that meets you exactly where you are.
Join us for three days of specialized training, networking, and spiritual refreshment.
Dates:
September 23
(late afternoon start)
September 24
(all day, out by 5 pm)
September 25
(all morning, wrap up by 2 pm)
Which Track is Right for You?
Our new system organizes sessions by church size and growth stage. This ensures you are in the room with peers facing similar resource challenges and ecosystem dynamics.
1.
Foundations (All Sizes)
For new communicators, volunteers, part-time staff, or solo pastors.
Everyone has to start somewhere. This universal track is available regardless of your church size and focuses on the absolute essentials of effective communication. If you need to build a solid base before you build a complex strategy, start here.
2.
Small Churches
For leaders managing limited staff, tight budgets, and high-responsibility roles.
You wear many hats, and “delegation” isn’t always an option. This track honors the hustle of small church ministry and provides realistic, scalable solutions that don’t require a megachurch budget.
3.
Growing Churches
For churches experiencing increased attendance, expanding systems, and managing rising complexity.
You are moving past the “mom and pop” phase and facing growing pains. This track helps you professionalize your systems, expand your reach, and manage the complexity that comes with growth.
4.
Scaling & Multi-Staff Churches
For leaders of multiple teams, campuses, or ministries requiring high-level alignment.
Your challenges aren’t about getting it done; they are about keeping it aligned. This track dives into high-level strategy, organizational health, and the nuances of leading large, cross-functional teams.
