"Very inspirational and motivational! Loved getting to know the speakers and relating to everyone across the country. Helped me feel like I'm not alone in how my church is operating."

Ethan Caldwell from Michigan

"There was information for small and large churches. There were so many different topics for everyone and every skill level!"

Olivia Mercer from Wisconsin

"I liked the purity of the worship. The humility of the speakers and worship team. The POWERFUL words delivered in the keynotes. It was people focused over performance. Massive technical benefit in the sessions as well. LOVED the ability to talk to people, meet new faces, ask questions of the speakers, etc. Absolutely the best conference ever."

Daniel Whitaker from Iowa

"The worship services, the panels, the variety of speakers were great. The breakout sessions had real 'meat' to them and were actually helpful - not just trying to sell products. I liked socializing and connecting with other worship leaders. Seeing all the exciting tech that smaller churches might not know about/have access to. This was an amazing conference and we're already working with our team to come again next year."

Sophia Lennox from Kansas

"I very much liked the uniqueness of the conference, with many presentations and panels featuring innovators themselves - and additional access to these same people during breakouts and time at their booths. It was such an inventive concept, and very well suited to both the technical innovators and the worship leaders."

Lucas Everett from Florida

"Loved the breakout sessions and being able to get in-depth insights on what other churches are doing and how we can apply those as individuals for the greater vision."

Amelia Townsend from Ohio

"I love how practical it was. But tucked inside the practical was a lot of spiritual too. I loved the end with the push to keep going. That was much needed. The entire time I was there I felt like I was amongst people who are in a similar spot to me. Worship Innovators was comprised of a ton of different churches and all the talk was to the variety of teams represented. It wasn't to one specific group. I felt included. I felt heard. I felt affirmed."

Nathaniel Brooks from New York

"The sessions were inspiring and informative. Interaction with other attendees at sessions and even lunch was helpful. Heartfelt worship with lots of people who can sing was awesome especially when I come from a small congregation. I thought the conference was very well done."

Jacob Winslow from Texas

The Church Hub

The Church Hub was founded with a vision to support and care for lead and senior pastors who find themselves overworked and worn out.  Many pastors dream of preaching and leading with compelling vision, but are struggling with the various needs of every operational detail and ministry area. 

The Church Hub comes alongside pastors and ministry leaders to provide coaching, training and resources to encourage and equip church leaders to do the work of ministry.
