NEW MINISTRY CONNECTIONS MADE IN ATLANTA
*First time in the Southeast region, and returning in 2028!*
A panel built for real conversation — the team from Goff Companies, Trail Life USA, and SeedTime joined Adam and Nick on stage for a live Q&A.
Trusted partners on the floor — attendees connected directly with the organizations Build Groups actually recommends, not a crowded expo hall.
Hands-on from open to close — interactive workshops built around applying what you learn, not just hearing it.
Dallas is next — same energy, DIFFERENT SPEAKERS, REGIONAL BREAKOUT SESSIONS FOR THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST. November 12–13.
WHY ATTEND.
BUILT TO MOVE FROM STAGE TO STRATEGY.
Unlike traditional conferences built around lectures, the National Small Groups Conference is hands-on from the start — every session designed to leave with you, not stay on the slide.
EXPERIENCE-BASED LEARNING
Interactive workshops and immersive sessions built around actively engaging and applying what you learn in real time — not passive lectures.
TRUSTED VOICES & PRACTITIONERS
Speakers and panelists who have actually done this work in real churches — practical wisdom, not just theory.
INNOVATIVE PARTNERS
Meet the organizations building the tools for group ministry today — vetted, aligned, and ready to help your church take the next step.
