Unite Conference 2026
Unite Conference 2026: Early Bird Ends Sunday!
Every person will spend eternity in one of two destinations. Heaven and hell are real places. One of them will be our ultimate reality. Life on earth is but a vapor, but heaven and hell will endure forever. This is the Bible's clear teaching.
Heaven and hell matter for eternity, but do they have significance today? We're not in either spot yet. And there are plenty of things to fix our minds on that address today. Should eternal realities affect each moment of life until then? Surely we'd all say yes. But in what way does remembering heaven and hell influence life until then? This is what we'll explore at this year's Unite Conference. We'd love to see YOU there!
Unite Conference: February 6–7, 2026
Theme: Heaven and Hell
Location: Canyon Bible Church of Prescott
Speaker: Author and Pastor Matthew McCullough
Early bird $20 pricing until end of day on January 11th. Price increases to $25.
Prayer Requests
As we launch into 2026, take a few minutes today to thank God for each of the Grove Network churches by name. Each congregation is a lampstand, shining the bright light of Jesus Christ in an area of Arizona that is desperately in need of the gospel.
Pray also for God to raise up more church planters and planting teams from within our churches. There are many areas of Arizona without a gospel witness within practical driving distance of thousands of people. They need a lampstand too!
Mosaic Mesa, Grove's first plant, continues to develop and mature. Pray for their witness of Jesus in downtown Mesa. Pray for conversions and deep discipleship. Pray for leaders and joy in the rest Christ provides.
Tempe Chinese Baptist Church, Grove's upcoming second plant, is beginning to develop a core team. Ask God to encourage each team member with fervency for the Lord and his work through a new church. Pray they'll grow closer to God and each other. Intercede for Chien-Hua Chen and his wife, Betty, as the preparations to plant grow over the course of 2026.
Philippians 1:3-6 "I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
