Join a community of believers from across Visayas and Mindanao for three transformative days of connection, equipping, and inspiration.
Reach Conference is a gathering of hearts from Visayas and Mindanao churches—from teens to seniors—united to rediscover purpose, deepen faith, and expand God’s kingdom. Whether you’re new in the faith or have walked the road for years, this weekend is designed to reignite your soul and strengthen the body of Christ.
We’re not just gathering— we’re reaching.
Reach Up
We begin with God. We look to Him to find our identity, purpose, and security. It’s only by reaching upward that we discover who we were made to be.
Reach In
We take time to examine our hearts—embracing our strengths, confronting our weaknesses, and allowing God to heal and transform us. When we grow within, we’re more equipped to serve and love others genuinely.
Reach Out
With renewed hearts, we move outward. We seek the lost, strengthen the weak, and extend the grace we’ve received. Our mission is to bring people back to God—and into His family.
REACH. UPward to God, INward for renewal, OUTward in love, until every soul experiences God’s grace and He will receive more and more glory.
