Turning Point USA (TPUSA) Faith is hosting Faith Forward, its second pastors summit of the year, in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on Aug. 6-8.
At the Faith Forward Pastors Summit, TPUSA Faith will gather roughly 600 pastors and ministry leaders to focus on strengthening the church by returning to primary doctrine, fostering biblical discipleship, and reigniting evangelism.
TPUSA Faith’s goal is to equip church leaders to stand firm on foundational Christian truths and proclaim the gospel boldly and unashamedly in the pulpit.
Church leaders who attend August’s summit will hear from Charlie Kirk, Greg Laurie, Lucas Miles, Jack Hibbs, Rob McCoy, Samuel Rodriguez, Steve Deace, John Amanchukwu, Lila Rose, Frank Turek, Bodie, Megan Basham, Eric Metaxas, and more.
“We’ve built this one with just a really great balance of sessions and keynotes and worship time together,” Lucas Miles, lead pastor of Nfluence Church and Senior Director of TPUSA Faith, told Churchleaders. He also mentioned that the location is a great place to “bring your spouse out and enjoy the grounds and enjoy the weather and really have it be something that we can just pour into these pastors.”
Miles knows firsthand how hard pastors work. He shared that TPUSA Faith aims to give church leaders a time to refresh. That this summit is hosted at the Terranea Resort, and TPUSA covers the cost of rooms.
“Our goal at TPSA Faith is, we want to see the church united around primary doctrine,” Miles said. “So this is not an event where we are promoting a particular denomination or secondary position. We’re really focused on primary truth.”
ChurchLeaders asked Miles to share, from his viewpoint, what he believes the most pressing issue pastors are unaware of that is happening among evangelical Christians today.
“I think what is really going under the radar, especially among churches and pastors, is that young women are moving more and more towards paganism and neo-paganism,” Miles said, arguing that there is an increase of women getting involved in things like “crystals, white sage, witchcraft, tarot cards, and potions.”
