What Members Are Saying

The XP Gathering is an amazing opportunity to meet new people, hear new ideas and simply connect with like-minded people. In seasons of loneliness or feeling exhausted there are others that help carry the load and breathe new life. I enjoy bringing another staff member. We get 1:1 time in the car once we get to debrief speakers, panel, and individual conversations. A couple of hours of time invested proves to be well worth it.

— Ron Baum (XP at Cornerstone Church, CA)

Great to have a tribe of like-minded executive leaders and a gathering place to synergize, overcome obstacles, build friendships, and be a support to see the ministry grow effectively. No matter where you are planted, you are welcomed and supported. We are truly better together.

— Tiffany Varner (XP at Rust City Church, OH)

 

The XP Gathering is a game-changing expression of community for us who are in the business of getting things done for the sake of the Kingdom. It’s helped me pull my head out of the weeds of the day-in & day-out grind and realize I’m not alone on this ministry journey, but also my voice and life matter.

— Joseph Valenzuela (XP at Active Church, CA)

There are some ideas that are Good Ideas and then there are those that are God Inspired Ideas. XP Gathering is one of those God Inspired Ideas that’s for the betterment of the body of Christ. 

As a leader in this generation, I would like to thank Kevin Bugingo and his team of outstanding leaders for fulfilling a mandate and calling that’s unique to the body of Christ and helping XP’s and Lead Pastors.

— Ps Lafayette White (Lead Pastor at Reset Church, CA)

“Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!... For there the Lord has commanded the Blessing, life forevermore.” Psalm 133
