What’s next for the Church? This fall, leaders from across the country will gather in Las Vegas, Nevada, to seek bold answers together. Viva La Church is a dynamic innovator gathering for leaders, dreamers, and doers who are passionate about the future of the Church.
This dynamic three-day gathering is designed for clergy and laity who are ready to reimagine church. Whether you’re revitalizing a small congregation, exploring new models of ministry, or simply curious about how to reach new people in new ways outside of church walls, you’re invited.
