And here is the invitation letter from NAN:
You are invited to attend our 2026 NAN Conference!
The theme of our conference will be
“Growing as Covenant Leaders—Rooted in God through Deep Prayer, Radically living for Jesus, Active in the Spirit.”
The conference will be hosted by the Alleluia Community in Augusta GA, beginning with dinner on February 26th and conclude with a Lord’s Day celebration the evening of February 28th.
This year we will spend quality time seeking the Lord regarding our roles as leaders within Charismatic Covenant Communities. We all lead in various capacities and can grow through the testimony of others and our shared experience. Regardless of our specific role in our community, we are universally called:
Into a deep and abiding relationship with our heavenly Father through our prayer life
Into an intimate relationship with Jesus where we conform our lives to Him
To actively use the Spiritual Gifts to build the Kingdom of God.
[ CTR NOTE: It is encouraging to see how these three elements of the theme closely match three of our five community activities: Prayer, Formation, and Reconciliation ... and of course the other two Hospitality and Work could also fit under the 3rd one ]
We will plan quality time to hear testimonies and encourage one another.
[ CTR NOTE: In the past the NAN conferences have been heavy on teachings. This year they are reducing the number of teachings and increasing the amount of worship, prayer, and small group time (hurrah!) - so it will be more like the Antioch Network gathering that many of you attended last November. ]
This year we will again be handing registration electronically. To register for the 2026 NAN Conference and request Alleluia housing, please click on this link: 2026 NAN Conference Registration.
