This year’s leadership conference will be held from 7th to 9th of October. We start Friday evening and end by lunch on Sunday. We will meet in the rooms of the Herzstück church in Ehrenfriedersdorf, Saxony – like we did last year. Accommodation is available in a Youth Hostel as well as other options.
This years’ topic is “Following Jesus in a time of uncertainty”. The last couple of years has been a time of uncertainty, with Covid and then the war in Ukraine. How do we live as disciples of Jesus in times of uncertainty? How do we build churches in times of uncertainty?
This conference is not only about teaching. The time between the meetings and workshops are just as important. That is when we can eat together and talk with other leaders who are in similar situations as we are. Building new friendships has always been an important part of our leadership gatherings. For this reason, we encourage people to be part of the whole conference if possible. You will miss out a large part of the conference if you only come for the teaching.
Every year there is a good number of visitors from nations outside Germany. The last two years were the exception because of the pandemic. But we hope and pray that international travel will be possible in October this year. We hope to welcome visitors from several nations in Europe and beyond. The main language of the conference is German, but all meetings and most workshops will be translated into English – or into German if the speaker use English.
This is a leadership conference, but it is not limited only to leaders. Anyone who is interested in topics regarding leadership and in building healthy churches are welcome.
You will receive detailed information on payment, accommodation and meals by email after your registration.
We are thrilled about what we have been able to experience together with Jesus at our conferences in recent years. And we look forward to a fantastic weekend with you next autumn!
