Something of Value for Every Leader On Your Team

Your team as a whole also gains a powerful momentum that’s difficult to achieve alone. Attending SpireConference 2026 is investing in the growth of you, your staff, and your church.

Who’ve Experienced Transformation and Growth from SpireConference
“Every year we take our team to SpireConference and there’s something for each member of the team—whether it’s in the main sessions, the breakouts, or in conversations that happen in the lobby. It’s not just a conference; it's a conversation and a connection that will benefit your entire team.”
Matt Hessel
Lead Pastor LifeBridge Christian Church, Longmont, CO
"If you are looking for a place for you as a church leader or for your team to get inspired and encouraged, this is the place for you."
Kadi Cole
Kadi Cole and Company, Royal Palm Beach, FL
"At Spire, we come together and remind one another that we are dependent upon scripture; we are reliant on the strength and the power of the Holy Spirit. So looking forward to encouraging and strengthening each other — so make sure to be part of this."
Kyle Idleman
Lead Pastor Southeast Christian Church, Louisville, KY
“SpireConference is valuable to leaders and pastors because not only does it provide tools to equip them but it also opens their eyes to what their people are going through. In every message, with every speaker, I was able to grab nuggets of insight and things that inspired me in my spiritual growth. You will be changed as you grow together with other people who are doing the same thing as you.”

Some of the Inspiring Speakers You'll Hear From
Some of the Inspiring Speakers You'll Hear From
Andrew Stanley
Comedian, speaker, and host of The Andrew Stanley Show, Andrew Stanley brings a rare gift: helping leaders navigate serious tension without taking themselves too seriously. In a polarized culture, he shows how humor can open hearts where arguments fail. Andrew will help you lead with humility and relatability—demonstrating that bold leadership doesn’t always sound loud, and that sometimes the most beautiful way forward starts with laughter and honest connection.
John Ortberg
Founder of Becoming New and Author of multiple best-selling books like Soul Keeping and The Me I Want to Be, John Ortberg has spent decades helping leaders tend to the health of their soul. At Spire, he’ll call pastors beyond reactive leadership into a deeper, more anchored life with God, where boldness flows from intimacy, not urgency. In a culture that pulls leaders thin, John helps you recover a leadership that is both strong in conviction and beautifully formed from the inside out.
Emma Mullings
Co-Pastor of History Makers Church, author, and global speaker, Emma Mullings, equips leaders to discern God’s voice in moments of uncertainty. She brings a timely word for churches navigating cultural confusion, helping leaders move with clarity, courage, and spiritual authority. Emma embodies the tension of Bold & Beautiful by calling the Church to stand firm in truth while remaining deeply surrendered to the Spirit’s leading and the beauty of God’s redemptive work today.
Glenn Packiam
Lead Pastor of Rockharbor Church and a trusted theological voice, Glenn Packiam helps leaders hold conviction without losing compassion. With roots in both pastoral ministry and historic church tradition, he equips churches to navigate a post-Christian world with confidence. Glenn brings depth to the Bold & Beautiful theme, showing how a faith that is deeply rooted in truth can also be radiant, compelling, and genuinely attractive to those searching for meaning.
Rachelle Starr
Founder of Scarlet Hope, a national ministry serving women in the adult entertainment industry, Rachelle Starr leads on the frontlines of brokenness and restoration. She brings powerful, real-world perspective on what it looks like to carry both courage and compassion. Rachelle will challenge leaders to move toward hard places—revealing how the Church can boldly engage darkness while revealing the unmistakable beauty of God’s grace in real lives.
Mike Breaux
Teaching Pastor at Eastside Christian Church and Heartland Community Church, Mike Breaux, has spent decades helping leaders communicate truth in ways people actually hear. In a culture full of noise and distraction, he equips pastors to speak with clarity, conviction, and heart. Mike brings a practical edge to Bold & Beautiful—helping you deliver messages that are strong in truth and compelling enough to truly connect.
