SEPTEMBER 4 – 6
We’re gathering as a district this fall to learn, grow, connect & pursue the presence of God. Find everything you need to know about the schedule, workshops, lodging + more below.
NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK
TOGETHER ON MISSION
This year’s Foursquare Leader Conference theme, Overflow, combines the awe-inspiring beauty of Niagara Falls and the spiritual work we believe God is doing in the Atlantic District. We believe healthy leaders minister from the overflow of their inner life with the Lord. When we’re rooted in God’s presence, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and aligned with His purpose, we naturally pour out life, hope, and vision to others. Come be refreshed, equipped, and released. Together, we can live and lead from Overflow.
WHO IS INVITED?
Foursquare Leader Conference is for anyone wanting to grow in ministry – pastors, leaders, college students, missionary workers, chaplains, future planters, and those still discovering their calling. This is a “full court press moment”, so bring the whole team. When you register five or more people at once, you’ll get $20 off each registration*. So don’t come alone. Bring the people you serve and lead with, and be equipped together.
*NextGen not included in group rate.
