CONFERENCES
Our one or two day conferences connect, equip and coach city leaders for spiritual and societal impact.
The City Advance Conference
A proven, state-of-the-art leadership learning encounter where practitioners of city gospel movements share models, best practices and engage issues relevant to impacting their communities with the gospel. Any “CGM,” whether emerging or maturing, should either participate in a City Advance, or host one. (Why? Because in cities worldwide, the Holy Spirit is sovereignly bringing on-line concrete answers to Jesus’ John 17 prayer for unity among his followers, a “witness of oneness” that validates him as Son of God, and Savior.
If you’re looking for momentum or next steps for your own community, consider a one-day City Advance. If your citywide movement is more established and growing, consider serving as a “hub” movement that hosts a two-day Advance, allowing additional time to share more models, drill down on issues, offer topical breakouts, even on-site visits where societal transformation is happening.
