January 20-22

Converge is Dream City Church’s annual conference, where we seek out God’s heart and learn where He will lead us in the new year.

What to expect in 2023

Converge 2023 is set for January 20-22 with the return of special-guest speaker Pastor Cory Demmel! Pastor Cory will give us a message during our Friday evening service and open with a general session on Saturday. Then we’ll learn from pastors Carrie Erickson, Andy Kaup, and Jim Slosson through a series of targeted sessions.

Converge 2023 Schedule

Friday, January 20

Kickoff Converge with us on Friday, January 20, with the doors opening at 6 p.m. and the service beginning at 6:30 p.m. This service sets the tone for the weekend, with Pastor Cory Demmel delivering a message.

Childcare will be available for this service.

Saturday, January 21

We resume our conference with a morning service at 9 a.m. New this year will be three general sessions, beginning at 10 a.m., followed by our annual pastoral question and answer panel.
There will be no childcare available for this time.

Session 1 | 10 - 10:50 a.m. | Growing in Your First Space
Pastor Carrie Erikson, Mercy City Church

The home is the first place to be disciples and make disciples. This is still necessary regardless if you’re single, married, raising a family, or in your third act of life. Discipleship is needed here before you can reach other spaces. With that in mind, in this session, we will hear from Pastor Carrie about how to begin and continue this crucial first space of discipleship.

Session 2 | 11 - 11:50 p.m. | Reaching Your Second Space
Pastor Jim Slosson, Love Church Omaha

Our second space is the workplace. This space—whether that be in the classroom as a student, working part-time, or years into your career—will always provide you contact with people who need to hear the life, joy, and freedom Christ calls us toward. Learn from Pastor Jim how to recognize this space and use this contact for the Kingdom.

Session 3 | 1:15 - 2:05 p.m. | Impacting Your Third Space
Pastor Andy Kaup, Bellevue Christian Center

What is your third space? Many may not recognize what it is at first, but that space brings you together with those who share a common interest. The gym, your neighborhood, or even a child’s club or team. It’s in these spaces where friendships and bonds form. Learn from Pastor Andy how to see the opportunities to speak Christ into the lives of those who you meet and grow within this space.

Session 4 | 2:15 - 3 p.m. | Pastoral Panel

With a focus on evangelism this year, this pastoral panel allows attendees to ask questions for further clarification or on topics that may not have been addressed during the prior general sessions.

Sunday, January 22

The Converge Conference concludes on Sunday with our 9 & 11 a.m. services with Pastor Cory!
