Partner Church Summit 2026

January 29-30, 2026 | First Orlando, Orlando, FL

Join Partner Churches to reflect on what we've learned, tackle challenges together, and shape the future of this movement.


What it is:
 

Partner Churches sit at the center of what Intentional Churches is doing—not as spectators, but as co-creators. You're testing what works, opening doors in your regions, and helping us stay true to our mission: equipping, inspiring, and activating churches to fulfill the Great Commission for generations.


At the summit we'll:

  • Look back at what we've learned

  • Look ahead at where we're going

  • Tackle real challenges together

  • Celebrate wins together

  • Work together to add value for your church and many churches down the road

  • Connect with other leaders who are in it with you—building something that lasts

Your executive team (Senior Pastor, Executive Pastor, key leaders)
