Welcome to Session 1 from ThinkNEXT 2026, hosted by Nexus Church Planting & Leader Care.

This opening session begins with a devotional from Phil Claycomb, grounding us in the heart of the mission, before Roy Moran launches into his powerful story. Roy shares his personal journey and challenges leaders to rethink how we approach disciple-making in today’s church.

The theme of this year’s gathering, From Maintenance to Multiplication, pushes us to move beyond sustaining ministry and into reproducing disciples who make disciples. 

In this session, you’ll discover:
• Why many churches unintentionally stall multiplication
• The difference between activity and true disciple-making
• How the gospel spreads through simple, reproducible practices

If you’re a church planter, pastor, or ministry leader, this session will challenge your assumptions and reframe your approach to discipleship.
