This event is sponsored by New Ministries EMT of the California-Pacific Conference, Wesley Theological Seminary, and Wisconsin UM Foundation. Learn about being a sponsor here.
The 10th annual LEAD Conference will be online from January 25th-26th, 2021 (from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. MST each day), with optional activities in the evening. View the full schedule here.
LEAD creates space for Christian leaders to be vulnerable and courageous, connects them around their hopes for the future, and equips them to bring those hopes into reality. LEADers see a vision of the kin-dom of God and are willing to go through hell to get there. We support them on the journey.
We believe that LEADers are… Courageous, Collaborative, Vulnerable, Relational, and Hopeful.
14 speakers have been chosen from an application process and will present on a variety of topics. Church, non-profit, education, and business leaders are encouraged to apply. Each speaker will give a 8-10 minute “TED style” talk.
The registration page lists registration options and pricing, including opportunities to donate to the LEAD scholarship fund (be sure to scroll through all ticket options below). To apply for a registration scholarship, click here.

Multiplication in church participation is a difficult task no matter the circumstances. It is twice as hard during the time of Covid-19, but we cannot stop trying to reach those who are in need of a spiritual answer for very tough times. The need to share Christ and His Church is greater than it has been for a long time, especially in the midst of so much sickness and grief.
Speaker: Our presenter for this occasion is non-other than Rev. Olu Brown, pastor of Impact Church (UMC), a young congregation in the East Point community of Metro Atlanta (impactdcd.org). With Olu’s vision and leadership, since its founding in 2007, Impact has grown from a core team of 25 people to more than 2,400 attendees each Sunday in person and 1,600 online with a $4 million budget.
He will take us through processes of community development and ministry building during times of Covid.
Schedule:
- 10 AM – 12 Noon (PST) Morning Session (open)
- 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM (PST) Breakout Groups (for New Ministries funded ministries)
Zoom Meeting information will be sent to you by email closer to the event date.
