What Great Commission leaders are saying
Converge provides an incredible network of relationships and resources. Since joining Converge, we are better connected with other local churches and leaders, and better equipped to pursue what God has called us to.
Ministry is difficult, especially in the Northeast, and having a support system to rely on like Converge is essential! Both myself and our church have benefitted immensely from being a part of Converge Northeast.
