GCA Conference in Orlando

GCA Church Planting and Renewal Conference

Dates and more information to come.

This GCA Church Planting and Renewal Conference is an inter-denominational training event designed to equip church planters, pastors, and lay-leaders to start, grow and multiply healthy, gospel-centered churches that result in the spiritual, social and cultural transformation of entire cities and regions.

Christian leaders from more than 50 countries, representing over 300 denominations and mission agencies, have taken this church planter training.

Plenary presentations, peer-group discussions, practical workshops and leadership forums will allow participants to formulate their own "culturally contextualized" values, mission, and church planting strategy.
