Everyday Churches Unleashing Hope Among Everyday People
About this Event

Our neighborhoods are aching for the good news of Jesus Christ.
God wants to empower everyday churches to proclaim the Kingdom in everyday places. Learn how regular congregations are reimagining and reorganizing to bring hope into the cafés, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and the common places we spend our days.


At Gathered to Scatter you will learn how:

  • Regular churches are reaching people who might never come to a traditional "Sunday" church
  • You can unleash your church's pioneering leaders without destroying your established congregation
  • Develop powerful leaders even if you don't have a big staff

While many leadership events are oriented around well known speakers, "Gathered to Scatter" is led by practitioners deeply experienced in leading small and mid-sized congregations. Join us for a new vision of what an everyday Church can be!
