About the Propel Conference
The Propel Conference offers inspiration and training to grow your church. Sponsored by a coalition of Seventh-day Adventist ministries committed to seeing churches grow, it was born out of a desire to see an annual evangelism training event where likeminded church leaders can gather together, dream with your team, and hear powerful speakers that will inspire you for action.
2025 Pre-registration is Open
Uniquely Adventist
Adventist churches grow differently. So this event is specifically designed to help churches propel forward the unique message and mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. At the Propel Conference, you'll leave equipped for proven, effective church growth in our missional context.
Effective Innovation
Inspired Teams
Bringing a team of leaders to an in-person event builds relationships and helps reignite the fire for ministry. The Propel Conference’s multiple training tracks are perfect for team members to each grow in their skills, then come together to dream and make plans to drive the mission forward.

A note from Larry Witzel.
Welcome to the Propel Conference! Born from a desire to revive the spirit of the historic WestPoint of Evangelism, Propel began in 2023 and has quickly become recognized as a pivotal event for church growth training.
Propel 2025 promises to ignite a renewed zeal for authenticity, community engagement, and spiritual revival. Join us as we equip leaders and church members with effective strategies for public evangelism in a modern era, and inspire a movement toward digital evangelism that engages with younger generations. Propel is more than a conference—it’s a call to take action and reach your community for Christ.
Gather your team, share in the vision, and register today. Let’s move forward together, inspired and equipped for innovative church growth.
