The Mobilize Impact Conference is specifically designed for people who are looking to create positive changes through a gospel impact in their communities. Our goal is to provide a platform for church leaders and laypeople to come together, share ideas, and define strategies to improve the well-being of individual churches. You’ll gain a better understanding of how church leaders and laypeople can mobilize their churches and deepen their impact.
