Welcome to Annual Conference ’26: Greater Things!

 

The Arbor Church, Spring Arbor, Michigan

 

God does not just want to do a new thing in Michigan; He wants to do greater things. What if we truly believed these words of Jesus for us today? What if we believed that our faith could result in greater things? We could experience greater prayer, greater unity, greater disciple-making, greater multiplication, greater healing, greater reconciliation, and greater transformation in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, cities, and churches! The greater things that God calls us to are ultimately not for the purpose of growing our conference, but for saturating our region with the great glory of God!

Whether you’re leading a congregation, developing teams, or seeking personal growth, there’s something here for you. Don’t miss what’s waiting.

Kids Programming

For this year’s Annual Conference, we are excited to offer a fun and engaging kids program for children entering kindergarten through fifth grade. All children must be registered to participate, so when completing your conference registration, please be sure to register any K–5 children who will be attending with you.

For nursery and preschool-aged children, the nursery space will be open and available for families to use as needed; however, it will not be staffed with volunteers.

Volunteers Needed: We are still looking for volunteers to help with our kids program! If you have teens traveling with you or know individuals in your church who may be interested in serving for one or both days, please let us know.
