ChurchMissionLeaders
Church mission leaders, pastors, and ministry staff at all stages of experience — from those building foundational missions efforts to those leading complex global engagement, partnerships, and care for sent ones.
The Church Mission Leaders tracks are designed to meet you where you are—and help you take the next step. Whether you’re laying foundations or navigating complex realities, you’ll gain practical tools to strengthen your church’s missions strategy, cultivate Great Commission engagement, and care well for those you send. Sessions address both core practices and advanced challenges, including building alignment with leadership, developing disciple-makers, and stewarding cross-cultural partnerships.
Track leaders are volunteers who lead alongside their own work.
