What would it take to mobilize every believer to share their faith—not just in church, but in workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods?
This year’s Amplify Conference is all about equipping church leaders to build churches where everyone is engaged in sharing Christ. With a focus on Leadership & Church Growth, we’ll explore a renewed vision for Christian leadership, drawing wisdom from pastors who have led through seasons of change and growth.
You’ll also have access to three breakout sessions, covering over thirty topics tailored to help your team lead, innovate, and mobilize every believer.
This year’s Amplify is all about action. You’ll leave with new insights, practical strategies, and fresh encouragement for your team.
