The distributed church is the new normal


We're in a time of disruptive change that is having significant impact on the church. But the truth is, many of the shifts we're seeing now have been happening for a long time—the pandemic only brings them into focus. At this year's Faithful Innovation Summit, delivered through an engaging mix of live presentations, digital media, and online interaction, you'll discover and embody faithful ways of leading the distributed church more deeply into God's life and love for the world.

What's the Summit?


The Faithful Innovation Summit is a yearly gathering of leaders discerning how God is calling us to address core challenges of Christian faith and practice in the 21st century.

More than just a conference, the Summit is an experience. Participate in experiments and workshops, network with likeminded leaders, and learn on-the-ground wisdom from ministry practitioners as passionate as you.

This year, in light of COVID-19, we're meeting LIVE ONLINE. You'll get the same great experience, complete with innovative new sessions and ways to engage.
