Our speaker lineup and detailed session schedule are in the works.
Check back soon for updates on keynote speakers and breakout tracks.
Pastor Randy Bezet is the founder and lead pastor of Bayside Community Church, a multi-location church based in southwest Florida. Randy has a committed heart for helping people experience a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ and empowering them to live out their faith in a meaningful way.
In addition to his pastoral responsibilities, Randy serves as part of ARC’s (Association of Related Churches) Lead Team, an organization focused on planting churches across the nation. For more than 30 years, he has served as a leader, mentor, and conference speaker throughout the world. He works tirelessly to inspire individuals and church leaders to grow in their faith and become effective leaders in their own spheres of influence.
Randy and his wife Amy live in Bradenton, Florida. They have four children and love life as new grandparents!
Jonathan Lambert, along with his wife Natasha, are the Lead Pastors of Experience Church in Calgary, AB – which they planted in 2012. Jonathan is passionate about growing the local church across Canada and is the Executive Director for the Association of Related Churches Canada (www.arcchurches.ca). Jonathan loves Natasha, his four children (Chloe, Ayzee, Tanix, and Zarah), cookies, running, and sports – in no particular order.
Pastor Victor Ehiemere is an out-of-the-box thinker, speaker, and writer. He is a trained Medical Doctor who is called to ministry, leadership, and the pursuit of purpose. Alongside his wife, Amby, Victor serves as the Lead Pastor of The Well Church—a church plant in Maryland called to invite people to encounters with God for an overflowing life in Jesus. Victor is fast becoming an established voice of sound and clear Biblical teaching and leadership development. His witty yet poignant style seeks to simplify the complex and push you beyond the edge of mediocrity and nominal living. Victor has authored three books and a video series, 40 Days of Faith, which is available on YouTube. Victor and his beautiful wife, Dr. Amby, live in Maryland with their son, Joel.
Pastor David Payne has been married to his wife Ginelle for 32 years. Together they have three incredible children, the oldest is married and they have two grandsons. There is incredible joy in the addition of now being Papa and Gigi too! After playing college soccer, and briefly semi-professionally, David moved into the business world. However, David quickly realized God had different plants for his family, and at the age of 30 transitioned into full-time ministry. Then in 2006, at the age of 36, he and Ginelle fulfilled a multi-year response to God’s calling to plant and launch Lifesong Church – the very first ARC church in New England – in fact, they are church plant #32 with ARC.
Lifesong is a thriving church with a vision to reach 2% of Metro-Worcester by helping people Know God, Live in Freedom, Discover Purpose and Deliver Hope. While being a pastor, David invests in the breadth of New England as a board member and moderator for Vision New England, investing in/coaching several other church pastors, and growing his and others leadership; but far and away, his greatest joy is spending time with his wife, kids and grandsons, intermingled with watching the beautiful game of soccer!
