    New Gathering Rhythm and Direction

    Jesus declared, “Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ready for harvest.” Answering Jesus’ call, we are looking, and we believe that the fields of North America (and the nations!) are ripe as well. Therefore, it is our ambition in 2024-2025 to gather leaders from across North America who are hungry for the harvest. In 3 different locations and over the course of 2 days, we will gather to worship and pray to the Lord of the Harvest and to learn from some of the best and the brightest multiplication minds of our day. It will be a time of information as we learn together, yet it will also be a time of inspiration as we are unified around this main aim: Think Multiplication – God’s global mission demands disciples and churches that multiply.

    Who can attend Send Network Gatherings?

    We have a designated amount of space for our Planting Couples at each Gathering. We will also be opening space to a broader audience. This will include:

    • Planting Team Members
    • Sending & Supporting Pastors and staff
    • Pastors & staff looking to get involved in Send Network/SBC
    • Lay leaders interested in Multiplication
    • Church Groups

    What will it cost for planters and others to attend?

    Deposit protocol will stay the same for our Planting Couples. That means they will pay a deposit per person at registration. As long as they show up, they will get that back!

    For all other attendees, they too will be charged to register. This will NOT be reimbursed to them for attendance.

    To promote early registration, the fee will be raised as we get closer to the Gathering. Below is a GENERAL fee schedule. (Ample communication will be sent before the fee is raised.)

    2024 Gatherings

    $50 per person until January 31st

    $75 per person until after SBC

    $100 per person until registration closes

    What will Send Network cover? 

    Nothing is changing for our Planting Couples. We will continue to cover the cost of 2 nights in the event hotel, 3 meals during the Gathering and parking costs. All they have to do it get there! We will encourage Send Network Cities and States to continue to use Care dollars to supplement their travel cost.

    For all other attendees, they will be responsible for securing their own lodging and most meals during the event. We will be providing a lunch for all attendees on day 2.

    STAFF Registration and Travel

    Field staff will need to register at SendNetworkGathering.com. With this registration, we will BOOK your hotel room in the event hotel along with our planting couples. You will be required to cover the cost of your lodging with your OWN travel cost center.

    As usual, STAFF will be asked to arrive on the Sunday before your selected Gathering. An ALL STAFF meeting will be scheduled for 9AM on Monday.

    STAFF and PLANTER schedule ONLY

    Please know that this is NOT a schedule for the general public. You WILL see a condensed verse online. We will be hosting meals and fellowship times for Planting Couples and Staff ONLY.
