SEE THE CITY SUMMIT ·
February 27 & 28, 2026
A strategic, invite-only summit to inspire Christian workplace leaders and Church leaders to work together for Gospel transformation in our community over the next 10 years.
Join kingdom leaders from across our community for a catalytic gathering designed to help us see what God is doing in our city—what has been, what is, and what could be if the Church moves together in unity.
The See the City Summit Conference is a visionary, interactive experience that brings together pastors, workplace leaders, next-generation influencers, and citywide partners to imagine a future of true gospel impact and community flourishing.
Why See the City?
1) To envision and empower workplace leaders with pastors in the Gospel Movement.
2) To Increase Gospel transformation in our community through the unity of the Church.
Many in our city serve faithfully yet may not see the full kingdom ecosystem they are part of - or the unique contribution they bring within it. We want to provide space to:
• Make meaningful connections across churches, ministries, and workplaces
• Gain vision for the whole picture of what God is doing
• Recognize individual and collective roles in advancing the Gospel together
To accomplsih this we will demonstrate what has happened, highlight what is happening now, and create space to dream about what can happen when we continue working together for the Gospel.
