Join us at Summit Pacific College for our opening Reception with Appetizers and H'orderves. Summit is celebrating their 50th anniversary in Abbotsford, and students will be joining us for Lead Forward this year.

“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest”, says the Lord; the kind of rest that allows us to stand firm, press on follow where He leads. What does resilient ministry look like? What does it take to be rooted in Christ so that we can stretch and serve the God who delights to invite us to co-labour with Him for the Kingdom

Lunch is included with your registration cost, unless you opted out of the lunch during your registration. Wednesday's Lunch is a Burrito Bowl with your choice of protein, selected on your registration. We are thrilled to invite you to this year's Mission Global Luncheon, happening during Lead Forward Conference. This luncheon is open to everyone; come join as we honour and connect with our incredible Global Workers. Our special guest, Murray Cornelius, the Mission Global Director, will share inspirational stories of how the gospel is transforming lives around the world. He’ll also discuss how churches can effectively partner with Global Workers as they are sent and serve in various corners of the world.

Is your church growing? Diminishing? Is it somewhere in between? In Tony Morgan's book, The Unstuck Church: Equipping Churches to Experience Sustained Health, he identified the seven stages of a church's lifecycle that range from the hopeful and optimistic days of launch, to the stagnating last stages of life support. In this talk, Tony unpacks the lifecycle of a typical church, identify characteristics of each phase, and provide practical next steps a church can take to move towards sustained health.

Join us for this prayer and communion service ahead of our 3rd Main Session.
