Matt Chandler serves as lead pastor of The Village Church in Highland Village, TX and Board Member of Acts 29. He describes his 7-year tenure at The Village as a re-planting effort where he was involved in changing the theological and philosophical culture of the congregation. The church has witnessed a tremendous response, growing from 160 people to over 10000 including two satellite campuses (Denton and Northway). Alongside his current role as lead pastor, Matt is involved in church planting efforts both locally and internationally through The Village and various strategic partnerships. Prior to accepting the pastorate at The Village, Matt had a vibrant itinerant ministry for over ten years where he spoke to hundreds of thousands of people in America and abroad about the glory of God and beauty of Jesus. His greatest joy outside of Jesus is being married to Lauren and being a dad to their three children, Audrey, Reid, and Norah.

Steve Timmis is the co-founder of The Crowded House, an international group of church planting networks, and the co-director of the Porterbrook Network, an initiative that trains church planters. He's also the director of Acts 29 in Western Europe and the co-author of Total Church.

JR Vassar is the founding and lead pastor of Apostles Church. He and his wife Ginger have three children and make their home in the Upper East Side of New York City.

Scott Thomas is the President of Acts 29 Network and on the Board of Directors at Mars Hill Church in Seattle.

Matt Carter serves as the lead pastor of The Austin Stone Community Church, which has grown from a core team of 15 to over 7000 attending each Sunday since the church began in 2002.  Matt’s desire to see the church become an advocate for the welfare of the city of Austin has led to the creation of a network that exists to actively pursue the redemption and renewal of the city for the advancement of the Gospel.  The For the City Network provides a platform for organizational collaboration by providing physical space to local non-profits as well as creating a funnel for volunteer engagement.   In addition to pastoring at The Austin Stone, Matt is a cancer survivor, co-author of the upcoming book “For the City” and speaker for camps and conferences nationwide.
