XP Gathering

Because after the tremendous impact that a global pandemic has had on the face of ministry, this gathering of Executive and Operation Ministry Leaders in Southern California, is necessary. Now, more than ever is the opportune time for connection, support, encouragement, and networking to continue on mission to advance the kingdom of God through the local church. You are further invited to attend a Strategy & Networking Power Lunch following the gathering.

LOCATION: Crossroads Church (2331 Kellogg Ave, Corona CA)

DAY: Thursday, June 17th, 2021

TIME: 9AM - 11AM (PST)

11:30AM - 1:00PM (PST) Strategy & Networking Power Lunch

Here is what XPs and other Operation Directors have been saying about this gathering:

"This is needed as things start opening up, I'm looking forward to attending with my operations team."

"It can be lonely as an XP, with limited opportunities to connect and build peer friendships."

"I just don't have enough resources as an XP."

The XP Gathering provides the intentional opportunity through dynamic speakers powerful discussions, and engaging exercises to build new supportive peer relationships, growth, and unified inspiration, as well as innovation in the vein of leadership and ministry.

We hope you and your team will join us for the XP Gathering!

Psalm 133 "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore."

We Are More Blessed Together!

Guest Panelist: Blue Van Dyke. It's uncommon to come across a POV that is developed across International Marketplace, Venture Capital and Executive Pastor. That dynamic blend of tenure is exactly what gives Blue Van Dyke such a powerful and articulate position on church growth strategies. As the Executive Pastor of Christ’s Church of the Valley (a top 5 mega church in Peoria, AZ) he steered the growth of CCV from 1 location to 11 which resulted in a 370% increase in weekly attendance; a remarkable achievement that he credits to simply honoring an individual’s journey of faith. In 2020 he founded The StudioC, a full service agency that blends the power of digital transformation with the philosophy of church member engagement. Blue consults with church leaders around the United States to bring clarity and purpose to the process of member engagement, helping churches find exponential growth.
