We had strong expositions of Scripture. TGX was the most actionable conference I have ever attended. Rather than just receiving lofty goals to aim for, we were equipped with real ways to reach those goals. 10 out of 10, would go again!

FAQ's

The TGX Conference is for local church ministry leadership teams. Whether pastors, deacons, directors, staff, or their spouses, this conference will prioritize leadership team building, unity, and equipping.

The TGX Conference primarily focuses on helping leadership teams grow in unity and purpose. While encouragement and best practices are included in the conference, the primary goal is to help your team grow in unity around the Great Commission.

Standard conference registration includes the following: access to all plenary sessions, workshops, and a panel discussion. Also included in the registration are snacks, refreshments, coffee (lots of it), and two meals. Finally, there will be giveaway opportunities.

While there is no child care, a livestream will be available in the nursery for parents who need to use it.

Yes there are! As the TGX Conference gets closer, expect to get an email in which you can choose what you want to eat for lunch.
