Celebrate with the entire Southeast District at the Next Up Conference. Speakers include: John Lynch, EFCA President Kevin Kompelien, and several TED Talk style presentations from EFCA pastors and leaders.

 

Join us as we worship together and learn from one another as we celebrate legacy and how God is rising up emerging leaders to take on the mantle of ministry. 

Our Speaker

Learn more about our keynote speaker, John Lynch.

"With my retirement as the superintendent of the Southeast district on the horizon, I can’t wait to celebrate the milestones we’ve accomplished together as we meet for NEXT UP. But that’s not all. We’re far from done. There is so much to anticipate as we look to what God has ready for us next.”."
