Classic City Conference 2027

Practical, step-by-step support designed to empower you and elevate your ministry to the next level. The Church is navigating a rapidly changing world, and yesterday’s approaches will not always meet tomorrow’s opportunities. FORWARD is a call for pastors, ministry leaders, and church teams to move beyond what has been, embrace what God is doing now, and prepare for where He is leading next. Throughout the book of Galatians, Paul reminds us that the Gospel does more than set us free: it changes how we live, lead, serve, and move forward. We are no longer bound by the approval of people, defined by our past, or dependent upon systems that cannot produce transformation. At Classic City Conference 2027, we will bring together pastors, church leaders, ministry teams, practitioners, and partners for three days of biblical preaching, practical training, meaningful relationships, and resources designed to strengthen the local church. Together, we will explore how churches can move FORWARD in leadership, discipleship, worship, technology, community engagement, organizational health, team development, and mission without compromising the Gospel that anchors us. For attendees, this is more than a conference to attend. It is an opportunity to bring your team, sharpen your leadership, discover new resources, build meaningful relationships, and return home better equipped to lead your church into its next season. For sponsors and ministry partners, FORWARD provides an opportunity to invest directly in the pastors and leaders shaping churches and communities, particularly those serving in small, midsize, and rural ministry contexts who often have limited access to high-quality training, relationships, and resources.
