Why You Need to Send Your Team
As a leader, you know your people are the secret to success, and you need to equip them with the skills and tools they need to do their job. You also need to encourage them and celebrate their work, to keep them motivated to press on when things get tough. At the DMC your team will find both.
1. We offer highly practical sessions on the topics that matter most to your ministry. (watch some highlights from last year if you don’t believe us).
2. We emphasize community and provide opportunities for your team to connect with others who will become lifelong friends and mentors.
3. We understand the work that happens behind the scenes and celebrate with those who show up every day and put in the work required to run the race well.
Why You Don't Want to Miss it
As someone who is tasked will bringing your ministry’s mission and vision to life, it can feel as if you’re just running on a treadmill in the basement by yourself. Attending the DMC will let you see you’re not running alone. If you’ve ever wished for a place to meet other digital leaders, hear what is working for them, and ask your questions. This is that place!
2026 THEME
Ministry leaders today have access to AI tools that can multiply their Gospel impact like never before—but too many are waiting for the "perfect" moment to start. At DMC 2026, we're embracing Paul's urgency from 1 Corinthians 9:16: "Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!" The Gospel can't wait while we perfect our AI strategy. It's time to ship it—think strategically, build creatively, and launch boldly, to reach the ends of the earth with the powerful tools God has placed in our hands today.
