Acts 29 Europe Conference 2026

In a city that once echoed with Paul’s bold proclamation of the Known God, Acts 29 invites you to gather where history, theology, and mission meet—Athens. From 28–31 October 2026, church-planters from across Europe and beyond will come together to pray, connect, and reflect on how to proclaim Christ in a culture full of unknown gods. If you long to see gospel-rooted, theologically robust, and culturally engaged churches multiplied across our continent, the 2026 Acts 29 Europe Conference is for you!

Watch: Philip Moore invites you to ‘Come Back to Athens’ as we think through the issues of our day and explore how we can plant churches and make disciples in Europe.

Join church-planters and gospel leaders from every corner of Europe for a time of rich teaching and practical equipping!
