Drive 2024
Drive Conference is a two-day leadership conference, hosted by North Point Ministries. The conference is held every two years (since 2005) and is full of practical tools to help ministries come together for one purpose. Attendees come from churches all over the world to hear from staff and speakers to help them go further faster.
In 2024, the theme visually represented the idea of moving faster into the future by utilizing a wheel hub as the main logo and accompanying macro gradient textures as reflected light. Within the hub are “u” curves that are also used as repeating patterns to mimic wheel imagery like tread marks.
My favorite piece was the kettle-stitched bound journal, showcasing the tread marks as a die cut along the front edge of the matte black soft cover with “Drive” inset as a glossy finish to create both a visual and tactical experience.
Something unique about this event is the Drive Thru experience, where attendees can meet up with staff members and sponsors in between sessions and breakouts to help navigate ministry challenges, ask for advice, and share stories.
North Point Ministries has a growing network of churches and every two years, they gather with churches outside of the network, as well as partners from across the country and around the world in order to encourage, equip, and expand.
At the end of every conference, there’s a special moment where all staff lines the halls to celebrate each and every person who exits the auditorium after the last session. We fondly call it the “clap out”, and it’s a reminder of all the time spent and the hearts poured out that make our shared missions possible.
