The Conference Planning Team
Yearning to express God's love to others?
Looking for fresh approaches?
Feeling 'burned out' and going through the motions?
Eager to leave a legacy of impact for God's Kingdom?
Rethinking what it means to be and do church?
Hungry for meaningful connections?
Imagine ... a bountiful flow... beauty... movement … texture. These words evoke rich images of those who are grappling with how to experience, live out and spread the good news of the Kingdom, in ways which are Scripturally rooted and sensitive to the contexts of real people.
​
Many Jesus followers are leaving the institutions of the past, and needing to find new paths for building Kingdom community and expressing their call and mission. This gathering is your opportunity to bring, meet and mingle with mission-minded friends who think outside the box, as Jesus did ...
"On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."
John 7:37-38

Since 2005, Pathfinders has hosted training events for and by grass roots workers in order to stimulate further organic church understanding and practice in a post-Christendom and increasingly secularized world. These events have been a gathering place for disciplemakers, house churchers and frontier gospel workers in a variety of settings.
​
Conference tracks:
1. Organic churching through family networks, house churches and other simple expressions.
2. Insider movement among First Nations, Muslim and Buddhist neighbors.
3. Online strategies for the gospel.
4. Missional church in a post-denominational world.
5. Marketplace ministry as seeking the peace and prosperity of the city.

He has helped to birth and shape the conversation of missional church in the West, inspiring a new generation to discover new paths forward.

Conference host
Ross Rains is an office rental landlord in London, ON and facilitates the Pathfinders tribe which seeks to stimulate gospel movement and disciplemaking beyond the church building, clergy-centered and Christendom patterns he once helped build over many years. And, he believes the clues for the advance of the Kingdom are already within and among God's frontline workers, many who are presenting.
