Rediscovering the way Exploring discipleship as God’s design _for the renewal of all thing

Long before Christians were called "Christians," they were known as followers of the Way—a radical, countercultural people movement shaped by the life and teachings of Jesus.

​

"Discipleship" is a rarely used word in contemporary culture and within the church it has become one of those words that is used by different people to mean different things - we know it matters, but it can feel elusive or misunderstood.

​

At Synergy 2026, we'll return to the heart of Jesus' invitation: to make disciples of all nations and all generations. Along the way, we'll grapple with what it truly means to be Jesus' apprentices in the complexity of today's world.

​

We're excited to welcome Mattias Demaerel - founder of Recruits, a rapidly multiplying disciple-making movement transforming young lives in Belgium - as our keynote speaker.

Let's journey together toward a renewed vision of discipleship that brings life to individuals, communities, and cultures. Come ready to learn, wrestle, and rediscover the Way!
