It’s exhausting, but it’s also one of my most favorite times of year. Hundreds of in-the-trenches church workers come from across the country to worship, and grow together. It’s a time when I get to return the favor and pour into people who are trying to figure out how to MAKE CHURCH MATTER.
On November 6th – 7th in Timonium, Maryland Church of the Nativity will host their annual church conference and we want to invite you to join us.

Ministry is a grind. It will beat you up and wear you out. Conferences are a place to refresh and refuel. It’s a place where you can be inspired and motivated. Most important it gives you a chance to step out of the trenches and reassess the journey you are on.
Matter Conference 14 is the perfect opportunity for you to grow, refresh and connect with others in ministry. It’s an opportunity you do not want to miss. To learn more about this conference and to register (Because it will sell out) just go to matterconference.tv. I hope to see you there.
Did you go to Matter 13 last year? What did you enjoy? What do you hope to get out of Matter 14?
