The first in-person gathering will take place in October. \nWe are seeking younger leaders – those between the ages of 20 and 40 – to participate in this cohort. \nIf you are interested\, or you know someone who might be\, reach out to Wayne Stapleton. \nThe deadline for applications is August 15\, but the entire cohort takes place over a nine-month period beginning in September.\n  \nemail wayne URL:https://nabconference.org/event/year-of-equipping/ CATEGORIES:Emerging Leaders ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nabconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/YOE.png ORGANIZER;CN="Wayne Stapleton":MAILTO:wstapleton@nabconf.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20260915T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20260916T200000 DTSTAMP:20261006T143644Z CREATED:20260714T222855Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261006T143644Z UID:1130757-1789491600-1789588800@nabconference.org SUMMARY:Sending Church Cohort - Fall 2026 DESCRIPTION:The NAB’s Sending Church Cohort is a peer-led cohort that meets twice in one year on location at two of our sending churches to learn from their triumphs and mistakes in sending out multipliers. Stu Streeter\, VP of Church Multiplication and Ministry Advancement\, hosts the gathering\, but the core of training\, discussion\, and workshopping is led by the pastors and leaders of the host churches. This is an opportunity to learn at the feet of NAB leaders who are actively sending out church plants\, campus launches\, and revitalization efforts. \nThe first gathering of this year’s Sending Church Cohort took place in Fargo\, North Dakota\, in April\, where we learned from Pastor Jake Peterson of River City Church\, who is working alongside Jackson Hankey to plant a new congregation in Grand Forks\, North Dakota. \nThe second gathering\, which takes place September 15–16 in Edmonton\, Alberta\, will be led by Pastor Jeremy Putz of Central Baptist\, which has used the multi-site model to great effect in their city. Currently\, they are working on their fourth and fifth sites in the area. Their fourth site\, which is set to launch this year\, is an extraordinary story of a downtown historic site that sat largely empty for sometime. They are set to revive the space and the downtown life in the process. \nWe are so committed to the process that the NAB International Office covers all the cost of the cohort once you arrive in the host city. Simply\, let us know you’re coming through the link below\, and who you are bringing from your church to learn with you\, and we will take it from there. If you need more than two hotel rooms for your church’s representatives\, please reach out soon so we can explore options with you. \ni’m interested in attending the cohort URL:https://nabconference.org/event/sending-church-cohort-spring-2026/ CATEGORIES:Multiplication,Sending Church Cohort ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nabconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Sending-Church-Cohort.png ORGANIZER;CN="Stu Streeter":MAILTO:sstreeter@nabconf.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260916T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260916T113000 DTSTAMP:20260819T212216Z CREATED:20260818T200505Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T212216Z UID:1130924-1789552800-1789558200@nabconference.org SUMMARY:Reframe: Equipping Your Congregation for Evangelism DESCRIPTION:Reframe is a four-week\, online training for pastors and leaders to help you assess your congregation’s evangelism readiness. This training will provide an evaluative framework to help you to recognize gaps you may need to fill and distortions you will want to correct\, and it will provide a clearer path forward toward helping your church become more evangelistically faithful. \nReframe is not a training that will focus on how to better do evangelism but instead will focus on how to be evangelistic. \n\nHow well equipped is your congregation for the ministry of evangelism?\nHow do you evaluate your church’s health in that regard?\nHow would you identify equipping gaps in your congregation’s evangelistic faithfulness?\n\n \nEach training consists of an online\, 90-minute session that will take place across four consecutive Wednesdays starting September 16. \nDates: September 16\, 23\, & 30; October 7 (Wednesdays) \nTime: 10:00–11:30 a.m. (Pacific) \nTraining is free for NAB ministry leaders.

This event is for all ages! \nExperience an evening of engaging conversation and connections around international missions. Hear from NAB missionaries Brandon and Marci Jones from Brazil and Shan Reed\, NAB mobilization director and former NAB missionary to Japan. \nIt can be easy for our churches to feel isolated or as if what we do doesn’t seem to make any kind of global impact\, particularly when it comes to the Kingdom efforts regarding international missions. This Pop-Up will help your church grasp the larger picture of NAB International Missions\, help connect you with other local NAB churches who share a similar interest in missions\, and hopefully promote awareness of and engagement with NAB International Missions and missionaries. \nThis pop-event will take place 6:30–8:00 p.m. on September 30\, 2026\, at 18th Street Church (formerly Trinity Baptist Church) in Sioux Falls\, South Dakota.

We will learn and reflect on simple practices\, including listening to God through the text\, one another\, and our neighbours\, and committing to small ‘experiments’ that help us recognize the Kingdom of God come near. \nFor more information or to sign up for this series\, email Deb Judas. \nSessions will take place on four consecutive Thursdays (October 22 & 29 and November 5 & 12) starting at 12:30 p.m. (Pacific). \nemail deb URL:https://nabconference.org/event/from-buildings-to-neighbourhoods/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Missional Initiatives ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nabconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/from-buildings-to-neighbourhoods.png ORGANIZER;CN="Deb Judas":MAILTO:djudas@nabconf.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261109T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261109T163000 DTSTAMP:20261014T214143Z CREATED:20261008T225816Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261014T214143Z UID:1131121-1794238200-1794241800@nabconference.org SUMMARY:Riding the Waves of Grief DESCRIPTION:Join Wayne Stapleton and Parry Stelter as they explore the intersection of Indigenous experience\, grief\, Christian faith\, and reconciliation. The hour-long conversation will begin with Parry’s personal and family story as an Indigenous Christian\, including the intergenerational impact of residential schools\, broken family relationships\, cultural loss\, racism\, and the enduring grief these experiences have produced within Indigenous communities. \nFrom there\, the dialogue will broaden to consider grief as a shared human experience\, including the ways both Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals carry loss\, broken relationships\, misunderstanding\, and mistrust. The conversation will then explore how the Gospel speaks into grief – through a Jesus who weeps\, enters human sorrow\, invites the weary to come to him\, and promises that suffering will not have the final word. \nFinally\, Wayne and Parry will consider what faithful Christian reconciliation can look like today: telling the truth about history\, listening before attempting to lead\, developing genuine relationships rather than simply creating programs\, confronting racism and paternalism\, distinguishing the Gospel from cultural colonization\, and recognizing that God may already be at work in people and communities before Christians arrive. \nDrawing particularly from Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10\, the conversation will invite Christians to approach cross-cultural ministry with humility – prepared not only to share Christ but also to listen\, learn\, build relationships\, and allow God to transform them through the encounter. \nRegister for the conversation URL:https://nabconference.org/event/riding-the-waves-of-grief/ LOCATION:Zoom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nabconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Riding-the-Waves-of-Grief.png ORGANIZER;CN="Wayne Stapleton":MAILTO:wstapleton@nabconf.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261119T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20261119T113000 DTSTAMP:20261022T145918Z CREATED:20261016T220350Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261022T145918Z UID:1131148-1795082400-1795087800@nabconference.org SUMMARY:From Programs to Practices DESCRIPTION:During this 90-minute workshop\, we will begin the conversation of what it means – and why it is essential – for us to move away from efficient\, results-driven church models toward slower\, relational\, Spirit-led ways of being. Rather than eliminating programs\, we are wanting to reorient our focus: to be formed into the likeness of Christ. \nTogether\, we will discuss what this might look like\, by thinking through ideas such as: \n\nMoving from performance to formation.\nMoving from activity to apprenticeship.\nMovement from believing to being sent out.\nReflection on who and what is forming your people and who do you want them to become.\nHow spiritual practices that shape us over time and help us discern where God is already at work and how we might join him there.\nHow we do this as the people of God together.\n\n \nJoin Deb Judas and Luke Miller from the Missional Initiatives Team on November 19 as they facilitate this conversation. \nFor more information or to sign up for this webinar\, contact Deb Judas. \nemail deb URL:https://nabconference.org/event/from-programs-to-practices/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Missional Initiatives ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nabconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/from-programs-to-practices.png ORGANIZER;CN="Deb Judas":MAILTO:djudas@nabconf.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20270209T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20270211T110000 DTSTAMP:20261006T154722Z CREATED:20261006T154722Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261006T154722Z UID:1131098-1802160000-1802343600@nabconference.org SUMMARY:Fit Assessment: February 2027 DESCRIPTION:What is Fit Assessment? \nNAB’s Fit Assessment is a multi-step process that delivers insights to any current or potential missionary\, church planter\, or revitalization pastor\, reporting on their “fit” for the ministry they are endeavoring to engage.
