Your guide to Wave Conference 2027

Wave Conference 2027 takes place October 6–7, 2027, at Wave Church, 1000 N. Great Neck Rd., Virginia Beach, VA 23454. The conference brings pastors, ministry leaders, and churches together around leadership, worship, and shared purpose. Steve and Sharon Kelly are the conference hosts.

Who should attend?

The morning leadership sessions are intended for pastors and ministry leaders, including the teams who serve alongside them. Attending as a team creates time away from regular responsibilities to consider your shared work and connect with others serving in churches. Evening sessions welcome everyone, including local residents, friends, and families who want to gather for worship.

Registration and session access

Paid registration is required for morning sessions. Evening sessions are free and open to the public. Use the pricing section to review the listed ticket options, then follow the conference registration link on Brushfire to check current availability and event details before purchasing. Confirm that your selected registration matches the sessions and attendees you are booking for.

For ticket categories, listed prices, and purchasing checks, read the registration and ticket guide.
