Amplify Outreach is for pastors and Christians who are passionate about entering the messy, real issues of our day and helping people discover an authentic faith in Christ. We gather innovative pastors, world-class scholars, and network leaders from throughout the country to deliver fresh content and interactive breakouts.

Taking the podium this year are such thought leaders as Ed Stetzer, executive director of the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center and editor-in-chief of Outreach magazine; Derwin Gray, founding and lead pastor of Transformation Church; Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author; Brian Tome, founding and senior pastor of Crossroads Church; James Choung, VP of innovation and strategy and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship; and many more.
