First Impressions Conference

and discuss culture and team leadership.

PushPay Summit
- Dallas, TX
- May 22-23, 2019
At Summit, you won’t find the biggest name speakers or pastors with the most Facebook likes. You won’t see an amazing light show or worship experience designed to “recharge” or “refuel” you. Instead, you’ll hear from speakers you’ve likely never heard of. From people you probably won’t recognize, who probably have fewer Instagram followers than you. Why? Because they’re the executive pastors and behind-the-scenes business leader who are actually doing the work, every day of the week. They’re not looking to get you to grow their Twitter following or promote their next campus launch. They’re looking to teach you the most important ministry lessons they’ve learned (that you can start using this Sunday).

That Church Conference
- Atlanta, GA
- September 17-18, 2019
That Church Conference is not the type of conference where you sit and listen, but instead, you do and practice. We do things a little differently than you might expect from a church conference. That’s because we want you to be different.
So many churches blend into the culture around them, without making any significant impact on it. The tools we provide equip churches to stand out, to make an impact, to not go unnoticed. And when that happens the church can reach more people.
