What is the future of the Kingdom of God in Europe? What is God calling YOU to do?

The Future Conference is a unique 2.5-day forum that was birthed out of a hunger to understand the plans of God for the church across Europe. Typically, when we consider God’s plans we often think of them within the context of church life, but God also has many callings and purposes to be accomplished through His people in multiple fields of society. Have you ever thought to yourself, “we need more people of faith in politics or the business world?”, or “we need more spirit-filled artists” or, “why aren’t there more Gospel-focused churches across European cities?”

That’s exactly why we are doing this: to hear what God has to say on these issues and to help raise up people like you who will bring His Kingdom into the world.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WHOLE CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD IN ENGLISH WITH THE OPTION FOR SIMULTANEOUS TRANSLATION INTO GERMAN.
