Collegiate Leadership

Collaboration is Our Way Forward

 

Collegiate’s fifth core value will be the theme of our Leadership Conference for 2024. We have a rich history of collaboration in our network and yet, there remains an aspirational element to this where we have room to grow. Gather with us as we delve deeper into this value.

Core Value: Collaboration is our way forward.

We are a relational network of churches that generously share our time, talent, and treasure to promote health, excellence, and sustainability in multiplying disciples and churches in college towns. Acknowledging differences in orthodoxy and orthopraxis, we are committed to the energy, patience, and coordination required to learn, grow, and support each other.  Linking arms with the broader Kingdom, we partner with Gospel-centered churches and Jesus-following individual donors who love the local church and believe in the next generation. As a movement of campus missionaries, we have partnered with Reliant Mission for our financial stewardship and accountability.

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4

Our way drives our humility and unity.

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 Holy Spirit refresh and renew us all as we gather together again.

Let’s go!

Conference Mission

 

The Collegiate Leadership Conference aims to be the year's most strategic, developmental, high “return on investment” leadership experience for our church leaders. This conference is designed for senior leaders of Collegiate Network Churches as a collaborative space to grow and develop as individuals and teams on mission together.

Food

 

During the conference, one meal will be provided on Tuesday and Wednesday. We will have coffee and snacks throughout the conference. The registration cost helps cover your meals during the conference.

Transportation

 

Flying

The closest airport is the Orlando International Airport (MCO) which is just 20 minutes from Reliant Mission.

During the Conference

Collegiate will not be providing shuttles to and from each day, so each participant is responsible for their own transportation each day.
