You want to see thriving, effective disciples. So do we.
Jesus changes lives. And if you’re in ministry, it’s because you know it’s true. You’re willing to put your heart on the line every day to ensure more people meet, know and follow Jesus.
But the distractions can be discouraging: arguments, divisions, endless task lists and the tyranny of the urgent. If we’re to stay focused on the gospel, regardless of what happens, we each need to stay the course.
That's where Converge comes in.
We are a multiethnic movement of churches and leaders collaborating on the one thing that matters: lives changed through Jesus, person by person, worldwide. And we’ve been in this together since 1856.
We are relationships forged at the foot of the cross and in the fire of real-life ministry.
We share our strengths by pooling resources, knowledge, experience and insights.
And we work together in Christ, coming together around the idea “In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity.”
If you love Jesus and take Him at His Word, there’s a place here for you.
Why unique, independent churches partner with Converge
The relationships you’ll share
Converge is relationships: not a vendor, a model or a formula for ministry success. Experience our diversity of churches and leaders. Develop iron-sharpens-iron friendships. Enter a Spirit-led conversation that’s been growing since 1856.
The resources you’ll access
We share a wealth of expertise and resources between churches: Dedicated mentors and training programs. Building loans and retirement plans. Partnerships, events and custom content. Whatever your church’s goals or size, find what you need to take your next step.
The diversity you’ll experience
If we’re going to reach the world for God, we all need a seat at the table: believers of every color, from all walks of life, male and female, young and old, emerging and experienced. And you.
The heritage you’ll encounter
Since our founding, we’ve been willing to do whatever it takes to stay faithful to Scripture and share the gospel across historical divisions. To learn how we became the multiethnic movement called Converge, read our history.
What Great Commission leaders are saying about Converge
Converge has been such a great source of encouragement for me. It is great to kow that people actually care for you and want you to succeed. I truly have experienced that we are better together.
Whether striving forward or struggling, every church needs a partner to come in and look “under the hood“ of their ministry. Converge helped us be better in every area to effectively bring the Good News to all people.
Leading a church can be complex, but I have a network of people from churches all around the country who are in my corner. You’re never alone when you’re a part of Converge.
