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.

“I was born in Russia to [an] atheist family,” Vlad began. “And when I was 18, my father sent me to the States to study business. And when I was there, I was an exchange student staying with a family that was just on fire for the Lord, and I accepted Christ. And then God […]

Church Planting & Multiplication

One church, two languages and a lot of hope for many families 

Faith comes by hearing, just like Romans 10:17 says. But hearing God is nearly impossible in one Arizona community because people with the same address often speak different languages.   Buckeye, Arizona, has churches for English and Spanish speakers. But what’s a dual-language family to do? And how can one church engage two groups of people?  […]

Planting a Church in Içara, Santa Catarina

Diego and Bruna were sent out from Aviva Igreja Crista to plant a new congregation in the nearby community of Içara. Remarkably, their sending church was only four years old.

Church Strengthening Evangelism & Discipleship

Transforming Church. Transforming Lives

In the early 90s, a Twin Cities’ Converge congregation found its attendance plateauing around 400. But by God’s kindness, its growth has been explosive. What changed? And far more, how have they become powerful, contagious ambassadors of Jesus Christ? In Acts 2, we read of thousands coming to Christ at a time. And as world […]
