DALLAS LINE-UP & MORE
Meet some of our keynotes and breakout session leaders.
Everything leads here. Dallas is home base—and where the tour comes full circle.
This final stop brings together some of the strongest voices in small groups and discipleship for a day packed with high-impact breakout sessions and main stage moments you won’t want to miss. You’ll hear what’s working across the country, gain practical insight you can actually use, and be part of conversations that are shaping the future of ministry.
And just like every stop, this is your space to connect—with leaders who are in it with you, building, growing, and navigating the same challenges. But there’s something special about Dallas.
We’re ending strong—make sure you’re in the room.

BREAKOUT SESSION TOPICS
Reaching The Next Generation
Gen Z isn’t disengaged—they’re discerning. In this breakout, we’ll unpack what actually resonates with the next generation and why traditional approaches are falling flat. Learn how to build authentic connection, create space for honest questions, and lead in a way that earns trust—not just attendance.
Multiplying Groups Gladly
How do you multiply groups . . . not sadly or madly, but gladly! Many feel like they're being punished for building a strong group when they're asked to "split" up their group to begin another! How do you lead people well to continue advancing the gospel and Great Commission through multiplying new groups in your ministry?
Knowing Your Team and Equipping them to Lead
Great leadership development starts with understanding who you’re leading. Learn how to recognize strengths, motivations, and leadership wiring so you can equip your team in a way that actually sticks.
