FAQ

Why should I encourage my entire congregation to participate?

The National Gathering is the perfect time for your local congregation to be encouraged, inspired, challenged, and to buy into and get excited about the vision to which God has called your unique church. If you are able to spend time together over meals, in worship, and prayer together, it is the perfect time to set the tone for your Flourishing Next Step in 2021. There is also intentional time set aside for your church to do a deep dive. In the midst of a weary season, it will be just what you need!

If my church is using the National Gathering as a retreat for the whole congregation, do I still need to register myself?

Yes, everyone attending, individually or with a group, needs to register through our website. If you church is having a retreat, we will provide a list to your church of the registration who have signed up from your church.

Is there a deadline for registration? 

No. You may register any time up until the start of the National Gathering, or any time during it. 

How do I know how to watch/log in? 

The day before the National Gathering begins, you will be sent a link to log in. 

How do the pre-conferences work? 

Each pre-conference will have it’s own Zoom link that we will provide the day before the National Gathering. 

Will there be breakouts this year? 

We will not have breakouts in the traditional sense. Plan to jump into one of the pre-conferences for a deep dive! 

Will the sessions be recorded? 

Yes, each session will be recorded and available as soon as possible.
