The Church Disruption Summit

Change is inevitable. Irrelevance isn’t. But the reality is that churches aren’t changing quickly enough.

Talk to leaders and they’ll tell you they want to grow. They want to be more effective. They want to reach more people. And that all requires change.

But ask them what their strategy for leading change is and they can’t answer the question. 

Hope is not a strategy.

And without a strategy for leading change, this is what you get:

  1. Pushback
  2. Opposition
  3. Confusion
  4. Anger

That’s why I’m hosting The Church Disruption Summit, an event spread over two days where I’ll dissect the 7 Disruptive Church Trends That Will Define the Church of 2032. 

Then I’ll give you a framework for change that will help you lead that change without blowing your church apart.  

You’ll leave equipped to lead something bigger, something better, something more meaningful and helpful… even when change is working against you.
