Thrive Leaders Conference
We build rooms
where tired leaders get their fire back — and go home with a plan.
Thrive isn’t a conference you attend. It’s three days inside a room of pastors and ministry leaders who have hit the same wall you have — and a stage full of people who found the way through. You leave with connection, encouragement, and a notebook full of things that actually work.
Thrive Leadership is an annual recharging of my spiritual batteries. We always leave encouraged and refreshed.
This is an amazing conference. I will be there this year and highly recommend it.
-
On the main stage
Bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head and founder of IF:Gathering. Jennie writes and speaks about the thought patterns that quietly run a leader's life — and how to interrupt them before they run the church too.
-
On the main stage
Senior Pastor of Bayside Church and author of The Problem of God. Mark makes the hard questions safe to ask out loud — the ones your congregation is already asking quietly.
-
On the main stage
Founding Pastor of Bayside and the reason Thrive exists. Ray has spent four decades on the hope-and-momentum problem: how leaders keep going, and how churches stop shrinking.
-
On the main stage
Former attorney turned pastor, and the person most leaders quote when they talk about burnout. Carey brings the org-chart-and-calendar conversation nobody else will have with you.
-
On the main stage
Founder of the A21 Campaign and Propel Women. Christine has built organizations on four continents and preaches like someone with a plane to catch — because she usually does.
-
Every session
More than a church worship team — a collection of people from diverse backgrounds all pointing in the same hope-filled direction. Their songs are a timely reminder that in the middle of the struggle, Jesus is there, leading the way out.
Breakouts across three days
Breakouts that actually move the needle.
No fluff. No theory. Just practical strategies from experts who've been in the trenches. These aren't your typical seminars — they're blueprints for action. Real-world insights, battle-tested advice, and tools you can use immediately.

Why leaders keep coming back
Connection
Connect with other pastors and leaders, experts in the field, and cohorts and groups from around the globe. The hallway conversations are half the reason people come back.
Encouragement
Never lead alone. Every leader in the room has been where you are. Head, heart, humor, hope — in that order, for three straight days.
Inspiration
Inspiring ideas to take home and share with your church. Practical breakouts, tested tools, and more tips than you'll be able to use in a year.
