The Discipleship Conference
Every man is called to follow Jesus. And every follower of Jesus is called to help others do the same.
This fall, we’re gathering in Bend, Oregon to explore what it looks like to step more fully into that calling.
We’ve brought together pastors and disciple makers from across the Northwest and West Coast to encourage, equip, and inspire men to respond to Jesus’ call:
“Go and make disciples.”
We call it Base Camp—because every meaningful journey needs a place to prepare, get equipped, and establish a foundation for what lies ahead.
Whether you’re a pastor, a men’s ministry leader, already investing in other men, or simply wondering what discipleship could look like in your life, there’s a place for you at Base Camp.
If you're ready to become a leader who multiplies, Base Camp is your next step.
What You'll Experience
This isn't just another conference.
Base Camp combines biblical teaching, practical training, honest conversation, and time alongside men who are actively making disciples.
You’ll experience:
Inspiring main sessions
Practical breakout labs
Small-group discussion and coaching
Panel Q&A with experienced leaders
Tools and resources you can take home
Time to connect with other disciple makers
The goal is simple: leave encouraged, equipped, and ready to put what you’ve learned into practice.
What We'll Explore
Together, we’ll dig into what it means to follow the way of Jesus and help others do the same, including:
Biblical discipleship
Following the way of Jesus
Starting healthy discipleship communities
Building a culture of discipleship in your church
Spiritual surrender
Sin, repentance, and reconciliation
Leading for the long haul
