Close your eyes and envision looking into a mirror. The glassy surface reflects not only who you are, but also how your leadership impacts your organization. Are you proud of what you see? Or, are there areas of your life and work that could better reflect Jesus and His Kingdom?

If you see an attitude, behavior, or pattern that you would like to change, our May 22nd Christian Leadership Conference is the right place for you. Join Christian leaders across denomination and industry lines to learn how to better reflect our God and King with practical leadership topics and skills.

Now, I know what you’re thinking — you’re not sure you have the time, energy, or money for one more thing — but you can’t afford to miss this. Your leadership impacts your organization, and intentionally tackling topics like identity, culture, and worship will have a ripple effect on everything in your organization, including productivity, hiring and retention, change management, sales, customer service, and so much more.

From our live worship sets, engaging keynote speakers and workshops, and take-away resources, we have intentionally designed this leadership experience to help you be proud of who you are, the work you do, and the difference you make as you reflect God’s Kingdom on earth as in heaven.

I won’t lie: the cost of practicing Kingdom Leadership is more than just a day away from work and the cost of the ticket; it takes intentionality to practice what we preach, but I know you’re not afraid of hard work, and there is nothing more rewarding than being your best and giving your best for the Kingdom. So, I’m asking you to attend this event with intentionality: get your tickets and prayerfully prepare your heart and mind so you can join like-minded leaders in transformational collaboration, community, growth.

Remember that mirror reflection? Aligning your identity, culture, and worship with biblical wisdom will transform the way you see and respond to the world around you and enable you to change that attitude, behavior, or pattern that is holding you back from being and giving your best. Because, as Jesus taught, you are called to be a city on a hill, a light that shines so that others may see your good works and give glory to the Father because of the difference you make. See you May 22nd!

$14/meal – includes chicken, baked beans, cole slaw,
baked potato, cookies
