Orange Conference is now Church Conference
Our vision for the Church Conference 2026 is to create a catalytic gathering where ministry leaders don’t just learn—they recharge, reconnect, and rediscover why they lead. In a world where burnout is common and clarity is rare, this conference is more than an event—it’s a rallying point for those committed to shaping the faith of the next generation.
Church Conference 2026 will integrate the best of what we offer—discipleship content, tools like Service Builder, music from Amazing Music, and creativity from APlay Media—to equip churches with a holistic, integrated approach to ministry. We want every leader to return home empowered, encouraged, and equipped to lead teams that are unified in strategy, clear in purpose, and intentional in impact.

Depending on your role, volunteering may require you to miss some main sessions or breakouts. All sessions and recordings will be available to you after Conference.

Step into an unforgettable mainstage experiences where innovation meets inspiration. Dynamic speakers, immersive storytelling, and powerful moments of worship collide to spark fresh vision and practical insight. It’s not just an event. It’s a movement that ignites leaders to influence the next generation with purpose, creativity, and contagious energy.
With over 50 workshops, you’ll find practical and inspiring sessions designed for Kids, Youth, Worship, and Tech leaders. Each one is created to help you gain clarity, grow in skill, and leave renewed for the ministry season ahead.
Ministry can be lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. In over 10 curated meet ups, you’ll gather with people who walk in the same shoes you do. These aren’t just networking moments, they’re sacred spaces of connection, where you’ll find encouragement, share real stories, and leave reminded that you’re not leading alone.
This isn’t just another event, it’s an experience. From Pre-Con workshops, to VIP moments (ticket required), hands-on product demos, 1:1 conversations with Amazing Life staff, and even meet & greets with your favorite cast members, these special elements are designed to reignite passion and inspire imagination in your ministry journey.
Leading at the top can feel isolating. That’s why we’ve reimagined the Senior Leader Experience, exclusive roundtables, workshops, and curated moments designed specifically for senior pastors and executive leaders. Here, you’ll find the space to dream bigger, gain clarity, and return home recharged to lead with courage and conviction.
