This Kingdom-minded movement is
revolutionizing the way the Church teaches
and tells the stories of Scripture.
What is the Council?
Throughout the history of the Church nearly a dozen councils and gatherings of devoted believers met to work through differences of belief, wrestle with spiritual matters of substance, and even solidify Scripture itself.
The first Council of Nicaea met to determine the divine nature of Jesus, the Son, and God, the Father.
Without these fellowships of faithful leaders there is no telling how the story and state of Christianity would have turned out. Sadly, the Church has grown accustomed to working splintered apart in separate kingdoms and spheres.
The First Council of Constantinople met to determine the equality of the Holy Spirit, God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, the Son.
But even in this age of division, this Council exists to be a place for pastors to collaborate together to tell bigger stories and bolder truths that will build the Kingdom of God, not just on Sunday mornings but every day in
between.
The Council is a Kingdom-minded two-day experience that breathes new life, begins new friendships, and builds new content for pastors – giving every church represented margin for more ministry all year long.
“God does not merely give us teaching, He gives us history.”
