2026 District Conference ARISE
October 5 - 8, 2026
The five regions of the Central Pacific District — Guam, Hawaii, Northern California, Nevada, and Utah — are home to thousands of unreached and unchurched people. The many ethnic communities of our district represent both the richness of God's creation and the breadth of our mission field. E27k is our collective answer to Jesus' command: Go. This conference will not merely inspire — it will activate. Throughout this conference we are asking the key question, “What will we do to reach the 27,000?
What is E27K?
E27k is not a conference slogan. Every planning decision, every seminar, every prayer session, every offering, every keynote in this conference exists to advance one mission: leading 27,000 unreached people across the Central Pacific District to Jesus Christ.
