As a movement, Converge exists to help people meet, know, and follow Jesus. We do this through three essential strategies: starting churches, strengthening churches, and sending people out for kingdom work. But of these three, strengthening the local church is mission-critical and here’s why: without strong, healthy churches, the other two cannot thrive.

As leaders, we long for our churches to be thriving, healthy, and missionally effective. But how do we truly know the health of our congregations? How do we discern strengths and blind spots, opportunities for growth, and areas requiring strategic focus?

For those of you still wondering if you should come, the answer is YES! Attending Advance is vital, not only for the valuable training and insights you’ll gain but also for the unity it brings to our mission.

This past weekend, I had the joy of participating in the ordination service of one of our Converge pastors. I will then participate in another ordination service on June 23.

Join Converge for S2 in Indianapolis, Indiana from June 25-27!
