Leadership Seminar

September 23-24 · Long Island, NY

A two‑day gathering for the leaders who keep the church running.

A Different Kind of Church Operations Event

Most conferences are built for crowds.
This one is built for conversations.

On September 23-24, we’re bringing together operations leaders from across the Northeast - Executive Pastors, Operations Directors, Finance Leaders, HR teams, Administrative Leaders, Boards, and Trustees - for a day designed around what you actually need:

  • Practical help

  • Honest conversations

  • Real solutions

  • Partners who serve instead of sell

This gathering is intentionally small, curated, and decision‑maker heavy.
If you hold responsibility for the financial, operational, or administrative health of your church, this room is for you.

❋ Why We’re Hosting This

Church operations leaders sit at the intersection of mission and infrastructure.

You evaluate partners, steward budgets, hire staff, build systems, navigate risk, and carry the long‑term health of your church. Yet most events either speak over your head or ignore your world entirely.

This seminar was created to fill that gap with a simple vision:

A room where church operations leaders get practical help, and where sponsors earn trust by teaching, not pitching.

No sales decks.
No vendor pressure.
Just practitioners sharing what they know so you can lead with clarity and confidence.

❋ What You Can Expect

A High‑Trust Environment

A room small enough for open conversations about real challenges, sensitive issues, and decisions that matter.

Practical + Tactical Sessions

Teaching focused on the work you actually do:

  • Staffing & team structure

  • Budgeting & financial health

  • Systems & processes

  • Risk & compliance

  • HR realities

  • Volunteer pipelines

  • Long‑term sustainability

Leaders Who Understand Your World

Every attendee is a senior decision‑maker or direct influencer in their church’s operations.

Sponsors Who Teach, Not Sell

Our partners earn their place in the room by adding value, not delivering presentations.

Meaningful Connections

Connect with peers facing the same pressures, opportunities, and complexities you navigate every week.

❋ Who Should Attend

This event is designed specifically for:

  • Executive Pastors

  • Operations Directors

  • Finance Directors / Controllers

  • HR & Administration Leaders

  • Anyone who leads staffing, finance, systems, or infrastructure

  • Board of Trustees

  • Elders and Deacons

❋ Why This Matters

Church operations work is often unseen, but it is foundational.
Healthy operations sustain healthy ministry.
This gathering exists to strengthen the leaders who strengthen the church.
