PASTORS & CHURCH LEADERS Cohort

Curated by Dr. Ed Stetzer

The local church is essential.

Missions isn’t just an add-on to the church’s work—it’s at the heart of it. Without the local church, missionaries lack the support and infrastructure needed to carry the gospel to the nations. As missions evolves and Gen Z comes of age, the question is:

Is the church ready to equip and send them?

Join us at Urbana and bring your students to experience what God is doing around the world. Be part of the Pastors and Church Leaders Cohort, curated by Dr. Ed Stetzer and featuring other pastors, to explore how your church can expand its sending capacity and engage the next generation in the Great Commission.

The future of missions depends on how we mobilize today. Let’s do this together.

You’ll get the opportunity to join this cohort once you arrive at Urbana 25.

Urbana's impact on your ministry

“Urbana is a powerful catalyst for the next generation to see and step into God’s global mission. When you bring the students in your ministry, you’re not just giving them a conference experience—you’re immersing them in the reality of what God has done, is doing, and wants to do in the world. And when that happens, it doesn’t just change them; it brings fresh vision and renewal to your entire ministry.”
