Laity Summit 2024 - Sunday, March 10, 2024

Laity Summit is a virtual gathering space where we come together to hear about ministry opportunities and collaborations. Laity Summit is a one-stop connection point to lean in, to grow together, and to prepare our local mission fields for Kingdom Impact across the Great Plains. This virtual event is designed for laity from all churches large or small, rural or urban communities, and established or emerging leaders. 

If you are registering as a "Watch Party".  The only person that needs to register is the Group Leader. You do not have to register each person that might be at the "Watch Party."  Individuals please follow registration instructions.
