I shared some of the top Christian leadership conferences to attend for both 2021 and 2020. Both years were marred by a global pandemic, but the popularity of those two posts showed how much ministry leaders are still hungry for learning and community.

The hope is that 2022 sees a decrease in COVID impact and an increase in our opportunity for in-person conferences. There will likely still be a significant number of virtual or hybrid options, which is actually a benefit for leaders with a limited budget or limited travel time.

Here are 20 Top Church Leadership Conferences to Attend in 2022, listed chronologically.

1. Unleash Conference

  • January 26–27, 2022
  • In-person at Orlando, Florida
  • Cost: $215
  • Hosted by Converge

According to the event’s website, Unleash is “a conference focused on growing every ministry and leader in your church.” Therefore, they offer workshops for any ministry track, including senior leaders, kids and student ministry, worship, hospitality, missions, communications, and more. The event is organized by Converge — a 165-year-old movement of churches that encourages churches to work together.

2. Disciple Making
