01What is THE GATHERING?+

THE GATHERING is the annual S.A.L.T. (Servant Agents Leading Together) Conference, a day and a half experience designed for faith-driven real estate professionals who want to build successful businesses without compromising what matters most.

This isn't just another real estate conference. It's a place to step away from the noise, reconnect with God, build meaningful relationships, and discover what it looks like to lead your business from a place of surrender instead of striving.

02Who is this event for?+
  • Real estate agents
  • Team leaders and brokers
  • Lenders and industry professionals
  • Entrepreneurs and business owners
  • Anyone who wants to integrate their faith with their work

Whether you're just starting out or leading a large organization, you'll leave encouraged, equipped, and challenged.

03What makes THE GATHERING different?+

Most conferences teach you how to build a bigger business. THE GATHERING focuses on building a life that honors God first.

Yes, you'll learn practical business strategies from top-producing professionals, but you'll also experience worship, biblical teaching, authentic conversations, and a community that believes success isn't measured only by production, but by obedience.

04What topics will be covered?+

While every session is unique, you'll hear practical teaching around topics like:

  • Putting God first in your business
  • Hearing God's voice in decision making
  • Success without burnout
  • Building from purpose instead of pressure
  • Leadership with integrity
  • Marketing, social media, and business growth
  • Sales strategies that honor your values
  • Faith in the workplace
  • Finding peace in a competitive industry
05Is this conference only about faith?+

No. Faith is the foundation of everything we do, but you'll also walk away with practical business strategies you can implement immediately. We believe excellence and faith belong together.

06Do I have to be in real estate to attend?+

Not at all. While many attendees work in real estate, any entrepreneur, business owner, or professional looking to integrate faith and work will benefit from the experience.
