LEAD A SEMINAR

Share your expertise — equip the church for the harvest.

Present at Missions Fest Seattle 2027

Share what God has taught you — and equip the church for the harvest.

Seminars are where Missions Fest gets practical: one hour, a room of people who came specifically for your topic, and time for real questions. We’re looking for sessions that excite, inform and equip believers to be active in missions — here, near and far. Our 2026 conference, Called to Make a Difference, has just wrapped up, and we’re now preparing for 2027, with the theme to be announced.

Five sessions over Fri & Sat1 hour incl. 10–15 min Q&A~25 attendees per seminar

The 2027 seminar application opens in April. You'll get an email when it does.
