About

Launch : New Mexico is a three-day innovation experience taking place in Santa Fe, NM. We are gathering clergy, laity, and conference leaders from the New Mexico Conference area to participate in dreaming and building the future.

We have found that the best ideas are launched through collaboration and encourage you to register in a team. We invite you to attend with a team of 3, together bringing an idea you are ready to move to action. Your team could consist of a senior pastor or church leader (vision caster), an associate pastor or staff member (implementer), and/or anyone in your context who shares in the mindsets and values for innovation (influencer).

This is more than an event — it is a movement of leaders who see a future full of opportunity.

The experience is a collaboration with the New Mexico Conference and We Are Curio, a creative studio built for explorers and innovators.
