Soteria to Host TGX Conference

NAME: The Great Exchange Conference
THEME: Membership Matters
DATES: September 15–16
LOCATION: Soteria Church, 3250 SE Soteria Ave, West Des Moines, IA 50265

What makes a church strong? Is it great preaching? A thriving children’s ministry? A packed worship service? While these things matter, the real strength of a church lies in its members—who they are, how they engage, and how they’re shepherded. That’s why The Great Exchange Conference (TGX) 2025 is dedicated to this critical theme: Membership Matters.

Join us September 15–16 at Soteria Church as we equip pastors and church leadership teams to develop a biblical, intentional approach to church membership. This year’s conference features keynote speakers Mark Hallock and Mike Augsburger, who will walk us through four powerful plenary sessions on the Gospel implications of church membership—what it means, why it matters, and how it fuels the Great Commission.

Beyond the keynotes, workshops will dive deep into the practical challenges of leading a healthy, committed church body, including:
How to exercise church discipline biblically and effectively
When and how to involve new attendees in serving and ministry
Helping children engage in every-member ministry
 Shepherding through growth groups and fostering discipleship

Whether you’re a pastor, deacon, church staff member, small group leader, or ministry volunteer, this conference is for you. Our goal is to help church leadership teams grow in unity and clarity, equipping them to lead with conviction and purpose.

Don't miss this opportunity to reignite your team’s passion for the local church and gain the tools needed to strengthen your congregation from the inside out.
