Our goal is to connect leaders to one another, talk about topics that pertain to your ministry, share ideas and help develop ideas for each other. We know the experts on NextGen ministry are within our Conference (spoiler alert: It's YOU!). We're excited to create a space you to collaborate and connect as we walk on this shared ministry journey together.
