Next level Leadership conference

Step Out of Maintenance Mode. 

At some point, every leader hits a wall. The systems work. The Sundays keep coming. But vision turns into maintenance—and momentum into muscle memory. Next Level 2026 is about breaking out of that loop. It’s about asking a better question: What’s possible?

What’s possible if we stop leading on autopilot and start leading with purpose? If we prioritize what matters most, invest in people over programs, and trust the God who called us in the first place?

This isn’t about more activity—it’s about greater intentionality. Change isn't going to come from just striving harder, but from trusting deeper, leading with clarity, and making space for what only God can do.

That’s the Next Level.
