This year's Boston Area Relate Huddle was an incredible time of relationship building and growth. As part of this, we had the opportunity to hear from a powerful lineup of highly influential church leaders from both within and outside our region. Whether or not you were able to attend in person, you can now benefit from the invaluable insights shared in our general sessions and breakouts, and we hope these videos and podcasts help you and your teams take the Gospel further and advance the name of Jesus.

Relate Huddle (Boston Area)

Relate Huddle exists to equip and support you, church pastors and leaders, as you live out the calling God has placed on your heart. This one day event is designed to refresh you and your team as you meet and learn from other churches who are on a similar journey. Through ministry-specific breakouts and inspiring main sessions, we believe you will leave the Relate Huddle encouraged and with great friends who will set you up to win. This is a place for churches to come together to learn from one another, encourage one another, and form relationships that will help each of us further the Kingdom of Christ.
