The process
We get to know you
Relationship comes first. That’s because Converge is relationships—not a model, formula, or system for doing church.
You join in
When you join Converge, you join a conversation that’s been going on for 170+ years, a siblinghood united around Jesus and the Great Commission.
We help each other
You bring what you have to the table, and so do we: best-in-class resources from our churches, plus everything available from our regional and national offices.
