Future Church Summit

Dear Church leaders,
The crises of 2020 have accelerated the need for churches to "future-fit" for our new world.  You and your team need a planning retreat where you can craft a strategy to take your congregation into the future. Future Church Summit brings futurists and missional practitioners alongside your team to chart a course for the road ahead. This season has left us with many uncertainties.  When can our churches safely gather? How do we live in both a virtual and a physical congregation? How can we stay engaged with our people? Yet, one thing we can be certain of - the future of our congregations doesn’t look like the past. The good news is that amidst this crisis, there is great opportunity.  Join us for the Future Church Summit and plan a  future-focused strategy for the coming year and beyond.  Online February 26-27.
