A unique gathering designed for you.
We want to personally invite you to the Global Connection — a unique gathering designed for you. It’s a time for renewal, worship, and vision. A moment set aside to witness God’s incredible work around the world — and discover how you can join in His mission.
You’ll be surrounded by an inspiring community that shares your heart for making Jesus known. Together, we’ll celebrate ways God is moving across the world.
We believe God is writing a powerful story — and He’s inviting you to be part of it. Will you join us? We can’t wait to see you there.
