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!

Athens 2026 Speakers

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