Leadership Conference 2026

A one-day leadership intensive designed to educate, develop, and empower pastors, administrators, ministry, and community leaders to stand with integrity, think with Spirit-led creativity, and serve in ways that impact churches and communities, beyond the walls.

LEADING IN PERILOUS TIMES: Integrity. Innovation. Impact.

Our 2026 conference theme speaks to the call for leaders who can stand steady in a challenging season, stay grounded in biblical truth, and serve people with wisdom and clarity.  The theme emphasizes three focus areas: Integrity, Innovation. Impact. 

INTEGRITY

Stewarding people, gifts, roles, and resources in ways that build trust and reflect the heart of Christ in everyday leadership.

Innovation

Empowering leaders with fresh, practical approaches to ministry, administration, communication, and problem solving that is not about chasing trends, but seeking God for wisdom and creative strategies.

IMPACT

Turning integrity and innovation into tangible results by equipping leaders to translate vision into action, serve people wisely in difficult seasons, and cultivate lasting fruit in their churches and communities.
