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.

ADVANCE 2022: The New Normal

SAVE THE DATES AND MARK OUR SECOND ANNUAL DISTRICT CONFERENCE IN YOUR CALENDARS!

ADVANCE is our response to the moment in time we live in. After years of uncertainty, we believe that God is positioning our ministries to move forward with a Great Commission mindset. What is our goal? Equipping churches and leaders, with practical tools, as well as leveraging experience for Gospel advancement.

“EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.”

What seemed to work for decades has suddenly, almost overnight, shifted.

Leaders in every field of work and across the country have witnessed this disruption. Leaders in the church have felt the pressure brought about by this unsettling upheaval.

We live and minister in a culture that is categorically “post.” Post-pandemic, post-modern and post-Christian.

What does all of this mean for our leadership? How should the effects of this shift be understood in the context of our churches? Most importantly, what must be done to shepherd our people through these tumultuous waters of disruptive change, while maximizing our impact on the lost and hurting world around us?

How do we ADVANCE in the new normal?
