From building a solid foundation to implementing hands-on, applied practices, this conference is an engaging program tailored specifically for those who feel their congregations can participate in the church planting efforts. There will be experienced keynote speakers, practical workshops, and opportunities for networking and collaboration with other Alliance pastors and teams who have questions just like you about church planting.
If you or your congregation has felt the nudge to plant a church or learn more about the ins and outs of starting new congregations, the Intent to Plant Conference is a wonderful opportunity to join the broader Alliance family who intend to plant a church and learn more about what it means to extend the hope of Jesus through church planting. We hope to see you there!
