Kicking the new year off with a time of refreshing, each January we gather in Traverse City for a 2-day event designed to be a respite for ministers. It’s a time of encouragement, connection, and fun in a retreat setting.

Each May we run two events side-by-side: Network Council and L3 Conference (a conference coinciding with the Network Vision of Live, Lead, Launch). This all takes place within a 48-hour timeframe. The event includes Main Sessions with Guest Speakers, Breakout Sessions, Ordination, Missions Highlights, an annual Network Business Meeting, Special Lunch opportunities, Special Presentations and a great time.

“A Space for Leaders to Connect, Learn and be Lifted in Ministry.”

Each year we gather local church ministry leaders (paid and unpaid staff) to LEAD Thriving churches. The Michigan Ministry Network All Church Leadership Conference is a gathering of like-minded, similar ministry-focused leaders coming together to receive information about effective ministry models, plans, and opportunities to enhance their ministry in the local church. It is focused on resourcing local church ministry leaders and helping grow awareness and development in ministry assignments.
