As we look ahead to Summit, we are excited to announce this year’s theme: “Encounter: Spirit of the Living God.” As the active presence of God in the world, the Holy Spirit works in our lives to guide, empower, and transform us. Come and find renewal and refreshment with us as we encounter the Spirit of the living God.

featured speakers

Throughout Summit, we had the opportunity to hear from four incredibly talented speakers: Nijay Gupta, Naomi Walters, Jerry Taylor, and Nathan Burrow.

Additionally, United Voice Worship will lead us in worship throughout Summit.

A NEW VISION FOR SUMMIT

We’re hearing that today’s Christian leaders crave opportunities to gather with others who serve in similar capacities, to encourage one another, and to forge relationships that extend beyond the bounds of a conference schedule. Learn more about these strategic shifts towards community.
