ABOUT
Across Conference emerged from a vision born within the Northern Plains District of the Acts2day Conference of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. As the Northern Plains District experienced significant growth in 2010, it became clear that the churches within the region required more focused and localized support.
Reverend Hector Andrade, then Director of the Northern Plains District, recognized this growing need and felt a distinct calling to establish a dedicated Conference, funded by the churches within the District. He took a bold step of faith, relocating to Minneapolis, Minnesota, to plant a new church and initiate the process of uniting 35 churches to form this new entity.
After years of dedicated effort and strategic planning, Across Conference officially launched in April 2018. This momentous occasion was marked by a three-day event, bringing together pastors and church leaders from Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and the Dakotas (North and South).
Across Conference is committed to providing focused support, resources, and fellowship to churches across this region, empowering them to thrive and expand the Kingdom of God.
