The Mission Leaders Conference provides leaders from the North American missions community a place to network and catalyze relationships in global missions.
Get ready for three days of networking, challenging sessions on innovation, and being part of the mainstream of what’s happening in the global missions community.
Our theme: the ongoing challenge of the Great Commission requires creativity, imagination, and vision. Church and mission leaders should be on the front edge of the innovation explosion. Yet, legacy ministry models, financial pressures, the pace of change, and even success conspire against innovation. Join us as we seek to catalyze a movement of innovation and advance the Gospel among the nations.
