The Algorithm and the Altar

AI is flooding every channel with synthetic content and simulated care. That makes what ministry offers increasingly rare. This session cuts through the fear and hype. Church leaders leave knowing what AI can and can't do and why their calling is the one thing the algorithm won't replace.

Align your Church's Strategic Plan

Drawing on decades of building world-class service cultures, co-founder of Ritz Carlton hotels Horst Schulze will share his framework for establishing organizational alignment by setting the vision, defining the values and management practices that sustain it.

Speaker on stage

Rock Forward

Rock is moving fast and this is your front-row seat. You'll learn about what's new, what's launching, and what's on the horizon. Understanding where Rock is headed is strategic: the more you know, the better you can position your church to use it to its full potential.

Beyond Chemistry: Staffing for Scale

Most church leaders hire for charisma and fit. Early on, that feels right, but leaders who scale hire differently. Your early team needs someone who holds both vision and details: an operational systems thinker who builds the infrastructure your growth depends on.

Ministry in the Age of AI: A Pastor's Honest Take

A senior pastor's honest take on how AI can serve ministry, from research to communication, and the cautions leaders should know. The goal isn't to replace people or spiritual discernment, but to use new tools wisely to help us do ministry better.

Bridging the Gap Between Leadership and Rock Teams

In this moderated panel, executive pastors and digital leaders from two churches talk candidly about trust, clarity, and what each side needs from the other, so you leave with practical language and mindset shifts to close the gap between vision and execution at your own church.
