Q was about engaging in a dialogue. Great ideas were presented and inspired more in all of us. We were driven to consider what God may lead each of us to do in our own sphere of influence and the best part is that I’m still connecting and collaborating with the people I met.

The Q experience was paradigm shifting in ways that felt so true, freeing,
respectful and right. I don't believe I am overstating things when I say we
are moving forward in life and ministry with greater passion, freedom, creativity
and basically have had our world rocked as a result of Q.

Coming over from the UK was really worthwhile, this was an awesome time.
The big concepts that stood out for me were to just keep using the story (telling
& listening to), business can be a force for good, there is a work for
us to do in redeeming culture but the people shaping culture rarely set out
with that as an ambition. Brilliant time, thanks.

I’ve shared my notes from Q with leaders all across the country
and have received immediate feedback, including a number of which have been
provoked to rethink the way they do ministry. Q was absolutely amazing! It’s
the kind of gathering I always dreamed of attending.

Q was a truly amazing event!

Pastor, Ecclesia
The presenters brought a unique, well-rounded, cultural perspective that
is needed to engage culture and create a "genuine" Christian culture
globally.

Q - Not just another conference. Q is the best "church conference"
experience I have ever had - because it isn't a regular conference! No one
talked about church growth strategies, formulas for success, or asked me how
big our church is. It is so refreshing to be around a community of leaders
who yearn for the church to be the holistic redemptive agent that Jesus dreamed
it could be.
- Chris Bell
Pastor, Northstar Church
Q is one of the most refreshing leadership gatherings … most unique
and diverse from the presenters to the venue. The focus was not on "how
to grow your church", but rather on how to empower the people in our
churches to truly impact the local and global culture. Q was about what our
role as pastors and church leaders look like in that context.
There was a lot of humility floating around this gathering. Mostly learners.
This humility even carried over to most of the speakers as well. Most of them
(including Rick Warren) not only spoke - but also attended. The brightest
and most innovative minds were gathered at Q. AND I'm convinced that some
of THE MOST innovative people in the room were the ones sitting next to me
- attending Q.

Pastor, Orchard Valley Community Church
Thank you for numbing my brain to the point that I actually couldn’t
think anymore. The incredible thing that stood out to me: The vast assembly
of people who are thinking in love. I dig that. You helped expand all of my
horizons.

God is really using Q in my life to reshape the way that I think about
the culture, future, the church and the gospel. Q is having a huge impact
on my life and my heart.
- Todd Wermers
Youth Pastor, Summit Life Church
The goal of “Q” is to be a gathering for leaders in the
church to become exposed and informed about future-culture. Why does this
matter? We have gained more conversions in the United States over the last
two hundred years than any other faith, while steadily losing ground in terms
of cultural influence. The idea behind “Q” is critical, and one
I have long embraced. In order to transform culture – to make it, create
it, forge it – we must become agents of transformation ourselves.
