Renewing Discipleship: A Conference from Forward Movement
Renewing Discipleship
A conference from Forward Movement
January 12-14, 2027
Registration: forwardmovement.org/renewingdiscipleship/
Following Jesus is not just about checking off a list of to-dos, but rather about reorienting our life toward the righteousness of God. This ultimately frees us to live the abundant lives Jesus desires for us.
This conference will offer:
- Inspiring keynotes about the power of discipleship.
- Workshops on how to nurture discipleship in your church.
- Opportunities to practice what we preach as we pray and study scripture together.
When we choose to turn our lives toward Jesus, we are choosing to turn away from all those things that distract us from God. And we are doing all these things not to earn God’s favor. We live in response to the boundless grace of God poured out to us in Jesus Christ.
You will leave this conference renewed in your own journey as a disciple and empowered to make disciples in your community.
