HOW WILL YOU LEAD?

REDEEMER LEAD CONFERENCE

February 9-10, 2024

Lead with Conviction

We are not called to lead in silence but to speak with love, humility, and conviction. 


It doesn’t take more than a quick look around you to realize the world has dramatically changed. Businesses, schools, board rooms, and governments have new sets of rules that often conflict with the biblical worldview. So what are we to do? Certainly living in a quietly passive manner, hoping it will all blow over, might seem like the easiest route. But we are called to a higher purpose. To speak truth. To lead with love, humility, and conviction. To understand the times and respond rightly to a world hungry for the gospel. 

Whether you are a pastor or ministry leader, school administrator or teacher, entrepreneur or politician, at the REDEEMER LEAD CONFERENCE you will be challenged to live out your faith in your spheres of influence with courage and love. Equipped with a greater understanding of why the world around you is so unrecognizable, and given the tools to navigate, influence, and lead, we pray you will leave stronger and bolder, ready to make an impact for Christ and His kingdom.

FAQ

Redeemer Lead Conference is geared towards anyone desiring to make a bold impact for Christ amidst an ever-changing, often anti-Christian culture. Do you have a position of leadership or influence in your community, school, or workplace? This conference is open to teachers, business owners and leaders, politicians, pastors and ministry leaders, church interns, students, online influencers, writers, etc. 

We are about 75 miles, or 1.5 hours west of Chicago. We don’t recommend staying in Chicago on Friday night. However, if you wish to extend your stay, Chicago would be a great place to visit before or after the Lead Conference.

We do not have a rate for attending only part of the conference. You are welcome to register for the whole thing and attend what you are able to.

Childcare will not be provided. We recommend making arrangements as soon as you’re able.

It is, and we welcome you if that is the case. Our building is all on one single level, we have parking available near the doors of the building, and each of the public bathrooms have stalls that are accommodating for wheelchair use.
