Jesus Collective 2025 Regional Gathering – Newark, Delaware How a Jesus-centered Movement Can Change the World Join us June 27-28 at LifePath Church This is more than just an event—it’s a space to connect, dream, and imagine what a more hopeful, Jesus-centered Christianity might look like in today’s world. We’ll hear from theologians, authors, pastors, and practitioners, dive into meaningful conversations, and discover how a Jesus-centered movement can change the world. We will hear from Mark D. Baker, Meghan Larissa Good, Keith Smith, Adam Dyer, Cherish Hamilton, and more. Sessions Friday Morning and Afternoon 9am - 4pm - Leader Sessions (Lunch Included) Doors open at 8:30am Friday morning and afternoon will be a time specifically for individuals leading and serving in churches, ministries, or organizations who are discerning and responding to the challenges of today’s cultural landscape. In a time of growing polarization and division, we invite you to engage in thoughtful dialogue with theologians and practitioners—including Mark D. Baker, Meghan Larissa Good, Keith Smith, and others—taking us deeper into the practical implications and outworkings of Jesus-centered leadership and theology. Friday Evening 7pm - 9pm and Saturday 9am - 4pm - General Sessions Friday Evening Doors open at 6:30pm and Saturday Morning Doors open at 8:30am Friday evening is a time for leaders and the broader community to continue the conversation together as we explore where we’ve come in the last 500 years, since the Protestant Reformation, and where we sense the Spirit leading us corporately, collectively, and personally. Saturday we will continue with a day full hearing from those navigating front line realities leading in the midst of polarity while holding Jesus at the center. There will be three key conversations: How does Jesus-centered power look different? How does Jesus-centered justice look different? How does Jesus-centered disagreement look different? Each session will have a time of group discussion and Q&A with each of our guests.
