NATIONAL GATHERING 2026

Hope and a Future

Equipping the Church for What’s Next

Zionsville Presbyterian Church in Zionsville, IN on April 28-30, 2026 (with pastor pre-gathering on April 27)

What if we recognized together the ways God has been good and faithful? What if we were focused together on future initiatives that energized our imaginations with hope? What if together we could hear God whisper in our ears, “For I know the plans I have for you?” TFC will gather, equip, and encourage each other as healthy, younger, and missional leaders for Christ-centered ministry. Join us for the National Gathering in Zionsville, Indiana, April 27-30, 2026.

Worship

Be inspired with hope for the gospel as we lift up the name of Jesus together in worship, celebrating all that God has done in us and in our churches over the past year.

Encouragement

Be encouraged by friends and colleagues in ministry who remind you that you’re not alone. Enjoy rich relationships as you reconnect with people over meals, discussions, prayer, and recreation.

Learning

Be equipped through the teachings of leaders in The Fellowship Community who will share stories and frameworks that you can bring back home with you.

What Past Attendees Say

"At the TFC National Gathering, the Holy Spirit spoke hopefulness to me, as well as the importance of doubling down on our Kingdom mission (and not getting distracted by the denominational issues)."

Wayne D.

“At the National Gathering, when Mike said, "You are not alone." --That phrase captured for me the blessing of the fellowship gathering through meaningful connections and programming that was consistently aimed at equipping ministry."

Chris B.
