Here for Good: Faithful Presence and Kingdom Witness in Rural Communities
October 8-9, 2026
Here for Good is a gathering for people who love rural places and believe God does, too. Together, we’ll explore what faithful kingdom witness looks like in this moment—not through bigger programs or borrowed strategies, but through faithful presence, courageous imagination, and contagious goodness. Through honest stories, worship, prayer, and conversation, leaders will be encouraged to recognize where God is already at work in their communities and rekindle a spirit of mission rooted in hope, relationship, and God’s goodness.
