General Assembly 2025 Going Above and Beyond

Join Us in Memphis, TN July 12 through 15

We're going above and beyond at General Assembly 2025 to help your ministry thrive! It’s all about layers and how our ancestors built a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world.

Going beyond:

  • Church as it’s always been done
  • Borders and barriers
  • Us and them

Whether you’re a startup or a well-established congregation, we can help you lay down another layer of your ministry. We'll help you identify the people, property, and financial resources that your congregation needs to thrive and transform.

We're going above and beyond what’s been done to what God’s Spirit is doing next!



Proud to be Platinum.

Since 1883, we've been helping Disciples establish ministries and spread God’s word by providing ministry, property, and financial services.

We work to inspire and empower congregations to create Holy Places where people connect with God, each other, and the community.

Our services can help you thrive, transform, and serve more readily to answer the question “What's next?”
