Growing Healthy Ministries Summit
“What would your ministry look like if your city was your partner?”
Now in its twelfth year, this summit is the premier gathering for faith-based ministry leadership teams in the Kansas City region and beyond. This year’s convening introduces a powerful new dimension: representatives from the Mayor’s Offices of both Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS will join as guest participants — signaling a new era of church-city collaboration for community transformation.
Three words anchor this year’s experience: Vision. Partnership. Impact.
