The Kingdom flourishes when its leaders flourish.

And in a world that pulls you in every direction, true strength doesn’t come from striving harder—it comes from staying connected to the King.

​

Now in its fourth year, The Kingdom Difference Conference returns March 27–28 at the beautiful Embassy Suites in Columbus, Ohio, gathering believers, church leaders, emerging voices, and marketplace influencers for a transformational experience designed to restore clarity, rebuild character, and reignite spiritual purpose. It’s a space where leaders grow—not just in skill, but in spirit.

 

Over the years, The Kingdom Difference has become a trusted gathering ground for those who carry responsibility, influence, and calling. Attendance continues to grow as more leaders discover the power of stepping away from the noise to realign with God’s voice. And in 2026, we press into that momentum with a theme that speaks to every believer’s deepest assignment:

​

Connected to the King.

This year’s focus centers on helping leaders overcome spiritual fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet disconnection that settles in when life becomes heavy. Even strong, faithful believers can find themselves running on empty. In those moments, reconnection is not just helpful—it’s essential.

​

But being connected to God is not just about personal renewal.

It’s about purposeful deployment.

The call on every believer is not only to serve inside the church, but to be just as influential, effective, and present in the marketplace, community, and world as we are in the sanctuary. That’s where we are assigned. That’s where we shine. That’s where Kingdom impact is made.

​

Church gatherings—including The Kingdom Difference—are not the destination.
They are fueling stations for the mission field God is sending us into.

That’s why this conference blends biblical teaching with real-world leadership development, worship with practical activation, spiritual formation with marketplace relevance. Attendees can expect:

​

• Sessions that strengthen character and deepen maturity

• Teaching that equips you to lead confidently in the church, home, and marketplace

• Tools for building spiritual rhythm and emotional resilience

• Worship moments that restore passion and presence

• A community of believers hungry for God, growth, and impact

​

Each year, this gathering draws pastors, ministry teams, volunteers, business owners, creatives, parents, and purpose-driven believers from across the region—all united by one question:

​

“How do I stay connected to God while leading in a demanding world?”

​

If you’re ready to refocus your spirit, renew your strength, and step boldly into your calling—both inside and outside the church walls—then you belong at The Kingdom Difference Conference this March.
