Be part of what God’s doing across the street and around the world!

Join us at the Summit For The Nations, where pastors and ministry leaders from across Wisconsin and the UP will gather to discover how their churches can make a lasting, global impact. Hosted by Converge Great Lakes and International Ministries, this one-day event will equip you to spread the gospel cross-culturally in your community and beyond.

You’ll hear from Dr. Abraham Vema, Minister at the United Nations, alongside missionaries from Poland, Senegal, and the UK, as they share insights and strategies for effective international ministry. Together, we’ll explore how to align your church’s vision with global initiatives and send missionaries to the least-reached corners of the world.

Partner with a movement of churches to advance the gospel and gain the tools you need to inspire and lead your congregation into global missions.

Sign up today and take the next step in your church’s mission journey!

There is no greater effort we can give ourselves than seeking God for direction and power. Prayer is often overlooked for strategic planning and problem-solving discussions when prayer is precisely what we need most. Often, pastors are pressed on every side for leadership and decision-making and can neglect corporate prayer as a means of God’s power being released.

Converge Great Lakes schedules one day every year where we challenge our pastors to disconnect from their normal pressures and schedule so we can gather together and pray for movement health. Would you set one day aside for this? Gathering with other like minded leaders to seek God’s will for our churches, for our movement, and for the health of the church overall.

For many years, the Converge Retirement Plan has helped Converge Pastors, church staff, and missionaries plan for their future and build added financial security for retirement. Unlike other plans, participants can enjoy the benefit of lifetime income through a pension, continued housing allowance (even in retirement) and a defined contribution plan to build additional savings. Unfortunately, only about 1 in 5 churches currently participate in this wonderful benefit plan we offer.

We believe that a key reason for our low level of participation by our churches is a lack of understanding of the plan. So, to educate nonparticipating churches, we will be conducting a webinar explaining our plan and the benefits thereof. The webinar will be offered on three different dates and will be open to any Converge church that is interested in learning more about what is currently available.
