    Last year’s gathering was such an unforgettable time of community and worship that we simply knew we had to do it again. Next fall, we will gather with generous men and women from across the country for an experience filled with compelling teaching, powerful testimonies, and Spirit-led worship.

    We can’t wait to see what God will do as we connect and lean into His heart for generosity—together.
