What if hope for the world doesn’t begin with better strategies, louder voices, or stronger institutions…

What if it begins by rediscovering Jesus?

This gathering is for anyone who senses that something about faith, church, and discipleship needs to be reimagined—not by moving away from Jesus, but by moving closer to him.

We will spend Friday night and Saturday creating space for prayer, worship, honest conversation, and deep reflection on what it means to be a people shaped by the way of Jesus in this cultural moment.


Friday Night — Where We Find Ourselves

Disillusioned and longing for something more authentic and Jesus-shaped.

Together through time in prayer, worship, and conversation we will name the moment we find ourselves and begin to reimagine the hope we have—not as optimism, but as a return to the person and way of Jesus.


Saturday — Three Conversations That Recenter Us

Throughout Saturday, we’ll move through three core conversations, each with teaching, group discussion, and live Q&A with our guests:

Rediscovering the God Who Looks Like Jesus What does Jesus reveal to us about who God is?

Rediscovering the Holy Spirit Who Sounds Like Jesus What is the Spirit saying to shape us to be more like Jesus?

Becoming the Church That Acts Like Jesus What does a church that acts like Jesus have to offer the world?

This is not a conference built around hype or answers. It is a space for honest wrestling, shared learning, and renewed imagination.

Whether you are a longtime Christian, pastor, leader, or simply someone hungry for a more Jesus-centered faith, you are welcome here.


LEADER INTENSIVE: PASTORS AND MINISTRY LEADERS [Friday, April 24th, 9:00a.m. - 4:00 p.m. - LUNCH PROVIDED]

Optional Leaders Intensive on Friday before the gathering begins.

Before Reimagining Hope begins Friday night, we are setting aside intentional space for pastors, ministry leaders, and builders to gather together.

This is not a strategy session, a skills workshop, or a leadership conference.

It is a slower, more honest space for leaders who are carrying real weight and asking deeper questions:

How do we lead when many are disillusioned with church?

How do we navigate the spiritual, political, social moment we are in?

How do we remain hopeful when the models we inherited no longer seem to work?

How do we shepherd people into a faith that is genuinely shaped by Jesus?

Through guided conversations, reflection, prayer, and dialogue with our guests, we will name the unique challenges leaders are facing and begin to reimagine what leadership looks like when it is rooted deeply in the way of Jesus.

You will not be asked to perform, network, or impress.

You will be invited to breathe, reflect, and wrestle honestly alongside other leaders who understand the weight you carry.

This time is designed to prepare your heart before the larger gathering begins Friday night, so you can enter the weekend not just as a leader—but as a participant being formed again by Jesus.

The Leaders Intensive includes lunch and continues into the main event Friday night and Saturday.
