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.
“On Purpose Gathering.”
Sometimes we spend so much time doing the work of the ministry that we fail to think strategically about the ministry we are leading.
The theme, “On Purpose Gathering,” seeks to explore how we can grow in intentionality throughout different ministries in the local church.
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.
