Join us IN-PERSON for a special May 12 Chicagoland Movement Gathering, in partnership with The Chicago Partnership! We will hear from Dave & Jon Ferguson, Derrick Puckett, Brian Dye and our special guest speaker, Grant Skeldon. We asked Grant to be with us because we believe Chicagoland needs to reach the younger generation, discipling them into leaders and church planters.

Grant has a deep passion for finding, uniting, and developing diverse and dynamic young leaders to reach the most lost generation our nation has ever seen. In 2020 Grant married his wife Cheyanne and moved to Nashville to become the Next Gen Director for Q Ideas with Gabe and Rebekah Lyons. He has written for The Wall Street Journal, Relevant, The Gospel Coalition, and was recently featured on the cover of Outreach Magazine. His book on the next generation, The Passion Generation has helped thousands of pastors and parents who are trying to reach and raise the next generation.

We’ll hear from Grant together, but we’ll also have time to discuss the content and interact with a panel of young leaders through Q & A. This will be a great gathering for you and your team.

By registering you and your team, you will receive a FREE LUNCH and a FREE COPY of Grant’s book, thanks to our friends at Thrivent.

*Find yourself in a time crunch? No problem AT ALL. Join us for the large group and arrive at 10:30 AM and lets work together on reaching the younger generation, discipling them into church planters.

As we move into the last part of 2020, we want to once again come together as the Chicagoland Movement to hear from God together and celebrate all that he’s doing in Chicagoland! We will hear from Dave & Jon Ferguson, have time for our Networks to meet, and hear from guest speaker: Chuck Mingo.
