ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Intersection Conference is a missional greenhouse for Anglican leaders who want to engage culture. Each year, this group of leaders will exchange ideas, share strategies for disciple-making in a post-Christian North America, and explore new ways of re-missioning the Church. The conference will also birth Learning Communities, local vehicles for continuing the conversation about mission in contemporary culture.
Each Intersection Conference will explore a core element of mission, and discuss the other elements in relation to it.

CONFERENCE REGISTRATION
This conference stands head and shoulders above any of the others I’ve experienced in quality across all levels: content of speakers, worship, execution, and details.
I was very pleased to participate in this excellent conference and am thankful to be part of this important work.
I was very pleased with the direction and tone of the presentations — just what I have been longing for and grasping towards on my own.
I was impressed with the caliber of speakers and the number of young church leaders at the conference.
