RENEW.org Gathering — Organization Profile
The RENEW.org Gathering is an annual event hosted by RENEW.org that convenes church leaders, disciple-making practitioners, and ministry partners for biblical teaching, conversation, and relationship-building. The Gathering is designed to help leaders pursue clear, Scripture-grounded theology that fuels disciple making and to connect with others who are working to build disciple-making cultures in their local contexts.
As part of the broader RENEW.org Network, the Gathering functions as a recurring “in-person touchpoint” for a community that is largely resourced through digital content and ongoing connections. RENEW.org describes itself as a voluntary association of disciples and church leaders who collaborate to renew the teachings of Jesus for the mission of being and making disciples. The Gathering expresses that shared mission through a concentrated time of learning, alignment, and encouragement.
The event’s format is built for both depth and practicality. Sessions commonly feature short, focused presentations alongside guided discussions, prayer, and networking. Themes may vary year to year, but the consistent emphasis is on strengthening churches with biblical clarity, wise discernment, and durable disciple-making practices that can be lived out in ordinary church life.
The Gathering also connects to RENEW.org’s broader ecosystem of tools and training. Participants often engage with RENEW.org resources such as articles, videos, podcasts, and book projects, as well as learning pathways connected to Renew University. In that sense, the Gathering is not a stand-alone conference; it is one of several channels RENEW.org uses to support leaders and churches committed to disciple making.
Leadership and speaker involvement at the Gathering overlaps with RENEW.org’s ongoing organizational leadership and contributors. For example, RENEW.org’s point leader and cofounder, Bobby Harrington, is directly involved in guiding the network and shaping the Gathering’s disciple-making focus. Other staff leaders and key contributors serve in roles that connect organizational resourcing, editorial direction, learning communities, and training development.
People can engage with the RENEW.org Gathering by attending the annual event, following the event updates through RENEW.org’s events pages, and continuing year-round growth through RENEW.org resources and learning options. Churches and individuals can also support the mission financially, helping sustain RENEW.org’s work to renew the teachings of Jesus to fuel disciple making across the United States and beyond through digital resourcing and in-person convening.
