LEADING FORWARD

At this year’s LEAD Conference, we are raising the bar—better at equipping you, better at strengthening your calling, and better at propelling you into all that God has for you. You are not alone in this journey. Together, we move forward, stronger than ever.


The LEAD Conference is a catalyst for change, reminding us that we are not alone and that, together, we can advance His kingdom like never before.
