A Weekend to Remember
What an incredible weekend we shared at the 2026 Annual Gathering! From the first welcome to the final goodbye, it was a time of meaningful connection, genuine encouragement, and Christ-centered conversations that challenged each of us to continue walking boldly in God's calling. Many left feeling refreshed, hopeful, and excited about what lies ahead for The Crucible Project and IMPACT 2030.
One of the unforgettable highlights of the weekend was welcoming The Chosen as our premier sponsor. Together, we experienced an exclusive sneak preview of Season 6, depicting the powerful events leading to the crucifixion of Christ. Sharing those moments as a community was both moving and memorable, reminding us of the depth of Christ's love and sacrifice.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our featured speakers—Karen Sharp, Pastor Phil Jackson, and John Owen—for their inspiring messages. Each brought wisdom, authenticity, and encouragement that challenged us to deepen our faith and continue pursuing lives of transformation.
We also want to give a robust shout-out to all of our breakout session leaders. The response from attendees was overwhelming, with many commenting that the teaching was so impactful it should be shared with an even larger Crucible audience. We couldn't agree more and look forward to exploring ways to extend these valuable teachings throughout our community.
Thank you to every volunteer, planning committee member, and servant leader who invested your time, talents, and heart to make this gathering such a success. Your faithfulness helped create an environment where lives were strengthened and authentic community flourished.
As we celebrate all God accomplished this year, we're already looking ahead! The 2027 Annual Gathering will be held in Maryland, and we can't wait to gather again for another incredible weekend of connection, teaching, encouragement, and practical training.
Be sure to watch our newsletters, email updates, and social media channels for dates, registration information, and exciting announcements. We hope you'll make plans now to join us as we continue building authentic community and advancing the vision of IMPACT 2030—bringing others along and blessing the world together.
