We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. – Hebrews 6:19-20
In a world of uncertainty, we gather to be anchored in the unshakable hope of Christ. We’ll examine our hearts, learn collaboratively, and strategize for local impact, ensuring that hope is not just something we hold, but something we actively share. You'll have the opportunity to refocus your mind, strengthen your team, deepen connections across our network, and sharpen our impact in the mission field. This conference is a space to renew our personal hope, strengthen our collective hope, and galvanize our missional hope as we bring the good news of Jesus to our campuses and communities.
As a reminder, the Leadership Conference is an opportunity to step aside from normal operations to work on your church as a team and with other like-minded church leaders. By utilizing health surveys and data from both Collegiate and Reliant, the content and conversation spaces are designed to help you see where you are as you plan for where God wants you to go. And because we value our relationships, we provide space for meaningful connections throughout the conference over food, strategy sessions, and free time.
May the God of Hope help us overflow with Hope as we gather together again.
Let’s go!
