reno-Tahoe CityFest
Pastors And Leaders Conference
November 19 | Summit Christian Church
Owning the
Lostness of
our city
Join us for an inspiring day filled with opportunities to connect, worship, and grow together as a community of leaders.
Owning the lostness of our city means more than just identifying and standing against the brokenness around us. It involves a deeper understanding that God has placed us here with the only solution capable of truly transforming both individual lives and entire regions.
This means remembering that only the Gospel can bring real change, and that God’s Church—both individually and collectively—is the way He has chosen to overcome this lostness. As the saying goes, "Without Him, we cannot; without us, He will not."
Do you believe that? Then this conference is for you!
Throughout the day, there is much more to expect:
Times of worship will draw us closer to His presence.
A dynamic panel of speakers will share their experiences and insights through an open Q&A session.
As you sit with new faces, you will participate in rich conversations and learn from fellow pastors and leaders.
Breakout sessions will unite leaders from across the region, sparking fresh ideas and a shared vision for collaborative ministry before, during, and after CityFest.
