A nationwide gathering to foster connection
and collaboration with ministry leaders
SEPTEMBER 9ᴛʜ - 11ᴛʜ
This is a strategic gathering designed exclusively for leaders of broadcast ministries who are navigating today’s fast-changing media, donor, and digital landscapes.
​​
At BRIDGE, you’ll join a group of peers to tackle the questions that keep ministry leaders up at night:
​
-
How do you really know which message or moment moves someone to give?
-
Can AI help you scale your content without losing your voice—or your values?
-
What’s the secret to engaging the next generation of donors?
-
In a fragmented media world, where should your ministry show up?
​
Four essential conversations. One powerful goal:
To bridge the gap between your ministry and today’s challenges with fresh insights, practical strategies, and Spirit-led discussion.
This is not a conference filled with lectures—it's a working summit built on real-world case studies, peer discussion, and collaborative problem solving.
Come ready to share. Leave ready to lead.
