Your Special Forum Invitation This year's GACX Forum in Dallas, Texas, marks the 15th anniversary of GACX's founding. Since its founding, GACX has seen over 3.5 million churches started among participant organizations and more than 450 reported partnerships between them.

Time for meeting with members is not left to the margins of our Forum; it is the main focus in this year's Forum programming. We are emphasizing the connection of people sharing lessons learned and having "collaborative conversations." You can register now to join us!

Connecting organizations for church multiplication.

The vision of GACX is to inspire and facilitate intentional collaboration so that there will be a healthy, multiplying, sustainable church for every 1,000 people on earth – in every relational network, village, neighborhood, high-rise, and digital space.

Uniting organizations to build partnerships and trust

The annual GACX Forum is our annual gathering of our member organizations and others who connect with our GACX vision, mission, and role as a global alliance of church multiplication. It is a unique space for over 125 member organizations engaged in church multiplication to come together to build his church worldwide.
