Unlike traditional conferences, the Advent UNconference has no pre-set agenda. Each morning, attendees propose topics they are passionate about or areas where they want to grow. These ideas are then voted on, and sessions are built around the most relevant and pressing themes. Whether it’s a presentation, a group discussion, or a hands-on workshop, every session is tailored to the needs of the participants and the challenges we face.

This event is about action, not just conversation. Attendees will have opportunities to engage in practical initiatives they can implement in their own lives, ministries, and communities. From learning sustainable agricultural methods to exploring new approaches to evangelism or discovering natural remedies, the Advent UNconference equips participants with skills and knowledge they can apply immediately.

It’s designed for those who are already taking steps to make a difference—individuals who want to deepen their impact and expand their reach. This is an opportunity to connect with others who share your passion, learn from their experiences, and share your own.

The Advent UNconference is more than an event; it’s a collaborative effort to strengthen and prepare each other for the work ahead. By coming together, we form a network of like-minded believers who are committed to fulfilling the mission of the gospel and hastening the Lord’s return.

Join us for this unique experience, in person or online, and be part of a movement that is actively working toward the greatest purpose of all—preparing the way for Christ’s return.

We also encourage topics across the categories of head, hand and heart. Whatever you are passionate about and think others are also interested in suggest the topic and get added to the schedule.

We use the “Two Feet Rule”, which states that "if at any point you are no longer learning or adding value to a conversation, you take your two feet and go somewhere else." Importantly, you need not apologize to the group and come up with an excuse to leave. You just quietly leave. This maximizes the value you gain from this time.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Advent Gatherings are local events where believers come together to revive the tradition of unselfish service and community collaboration, much like modern-day barn raisings. These gatherings provide opportunities to work together on practical projects, support one another, and learn new skills. Rooted in the spirit of mutual aid, Advent Gatherings strengthen bonds within the community, instill core values, and create a culture of service and joy in helping one another.

What Past Attendees Are Saying

Advent Leaders Unconference 2023

"Engaging with like-minded individuals who are equally committed to living and sharing the truth in these last days has strengthened my faith and sharpened my focus. This experience is essential for anyone serious about their spiritual growth and leadership in these times."

Michael Presecan

"The Advent UNconference touched my heart in ways I didn't expect. Connecting with others who share the same passion and urgency for Christ's return filled me with a renewed sense of purpose and hope. The personal stories, the shared struggles, and the collective prayers created a powerful atmosphere that moved me deeply. I left feeling not only inspired but profoundly connected to a community that truly understands the times we're living in."

Danella Taylor

"This year Unconference went very well! God brought people from different parts of the world with a desire to learn and share. We spoke and learned about True Education, studied the Bible together, did soul searching together, prayed together and had only one desire - to be part of the group 'that follows the Lamb wherever He goes'."

Daniel Presecan

"It was a blessing to meet other people who love God, who love His return, and who are seeking to prepare for it."

Raquel Vasilache

"The Un-Conference has been a transformative experience, deepening my faith through fellowship, Bible study, and practical mission work."

Roy Cross

"The Advent Unconference was such a blessing to me. Spending time with brothers and sisters who not only know the truth but wants to live by the truth to hasten Christ second coming was very motivational to "let go" and "let God" work in my life, to let Him work in me and through me. It was wonderful time filled with greatfulness and hope around nature and God's presence. It's also nice to have the feeling that you belong somewhere and you're not alone in your journey of life. Now I feel as a part of the Advent family."

Hanna Gerlach

"At the event practical, actionable strategies were discussed in detail. The emphasis on collaboration and real-world application made it clear how we can effectively hasten the Lord's return through coordinated efforts."
