JOIN US FOR OUR NEXT CITY NETWORKS LEARNING LAB

OCTOBER 22-24, 2024
HOUSTON, TEXAS

LOCATION TBD

VIEW SCHEDULE

PURPOSE

The City Network initiative has grown out of a response to what the Spirit of God seems to be stirring in the hearts of leaders in cities across the United States and around the world. Churches, networks, and denominations, are coming together in a spirit of unity for greater kingdom collaboration. Collaborative networks in multiple cities have already begun and others are beginning to emerge as leaders work together towards church multiplication in their geography.

If you are collaborating with others in your city across church, denominational, and network lines to see churches planted and the gospel saturate your city, then this learning experience is for you and your team.

Our time together will be designed as a learning lab and not a traditional conference. There will be time to hear lessons we’ve learned with HCPN over the past 12 years as well as time built in for your city team to work on actionable next steps. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with leaders in other cities who are pursuing a similar vision. Because of the nature of our time together we are asking that each participating city have 3-5 key leaders from different churches attend.

Register soon as we will cap the learning lab with around 15 participating cities. This year we are adding an alumni track for previous participants that are currently leading networks in cities around the world.

Partnering together with those leading collaborative church planting movements in their cities.

  • WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING:

    “HCPN’s Learning Lab confirmed our suspicion that the Lord is doing something unique in Houston, which they generously allow to be a blessing to the global church. Observing in person some of what we’ve been told has provided the nuance that enables us to contextualize it to our cities, ask the right questions and dream in fresh, hopeful ways about the future of the church where we labour. I cannot recommend it highly enough, and intent returning with an bigger team representing more cities. We very much appreciate your willingness to freely pass on what God has been teaching you!”

    —Tobie Meyer, Executive Director | City to City Africa

  • WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING:

    "The City Networks Learning Lab was a breakthrough moment for us. Our small team made the trek and WOW! It was so worth it. God used the time with leaders from all over to stimulate our vision, clarify what we've been missing, and give us real tools and time to process. We emerged with more unified determination than we've ever experienced, and as a result our network has been strengthened exponentially in the months following. We're launching new initiatives, seeing new leaders step in to help and experiencing new momentum that we didn't see coming. Thanks Chad and team for making yourselves, your team, and your experience so widely available."

    —Gabe Kolstad, Lead Pastor | Westside Community Church & Multiply PDX (Portland)
