Final ChargeWhat people are saying:
"Worship has been great, the main sessions have been inspiring and the break-out sessions have been very informative—earth-shattering in some cases."
“Mission flows out of worship.”
At the Propel Conference, you'll worship with hundreds of other like-minded believers passionate about reaching the lost. We believe worshiping together is the foundation of our mission, and inspiring music is key to that. Join us at the start of each Main Session as we spend some time praising the name of Jesus and worshiping our Creator.
Training Tracks
On Monday and Tuesday, a diverse option of breakout sessions will give you an opportunity for a deep dive into the best practices for growing Seventh-day Adventist churches. Choose sessions from several different tracks—attend all sessions in a track, or mix and match to tailor your training experience.
