NXT Move DFW

Loved connecting with Michael Burke from Vineyard Church in Arlington 🙌

Michael serves as a bi-vocational student pastor, faithfully showing up for students while balancing so many other responsibilities behind the scenes. That kind of dedication says a lot.

It’s leaders like Michael who are quietly making a real impact in the lives of the next generation every single week.

Excited to keep building relationships and connecting student pastors like him into Catalytic Communities across DFW.

It was great connecting with , student pastor at The Dwelling Place Church in Arlington, TX.

So encouraged by his heart to serve the next generation and lead in his local church. It’s always inspiring to see young leaders stepping in with vision and purpose.

Excited to now have him connected to the Catalytic Community in Tarrant County and looking forward to what collaboration could look like moving forward.

We hosted our first Catalytic Community at Park Cities Baptist Church—and it was just the beginning.

Student pastors from across the area gathered to share stories, pray intentionally, and explore how we can better connect and collaborate to advance the Gospel to the next generation.

There’s something powerful about being in the same room with leaders who carry the same heart. And this is only going to grow across DFW.

NXT Move DFW + the National Network of Youth Ministries hosted Accelerate DFW - bringing together local leaders who are making a difference in reaching the next generation across DFW.

Grateful for the life and leadership of Rick Eubanks, who has faithfully led this for many years. Honored to support and be part of what God is doing through these leaders.

This is more than an event—it’s a community.
And you can be part of it.

NXT Move DFW was honored to be part of the Student Pastors Summit in Dallas.

Hosted at Prestonwood Baptist Church and presented by Student Leadership University, this annual gathering creates space for youth pastors, leaders, volunteers, and educators to be encouraged, equipped, and connected.

We love being in rooms like this—investing in those who are making a lasting impact in the lives of students.

If you’re in youth ministry, this is one to be part of.

So good reconnecting through Catalytic Communities.

It was a joy to spend time again with Hannah and James August, student pastors at Preston Road Church of Christ here in Dallas County. We loved hearing more of your heart—for students and for women in youth ministry.

Moments like these remind us why relationships matter.

We’re excited to keep building with student pastors across DFW—getting to know you better so we can serve you better.

Momentum is building.

On April 21–22 in Denver, Colorado, our NXT Move DFW team joined executive leaders from across North America at YMX (Youth Ministry Executive Council), hosted by the National Network of Youth Ministries(.network).

It was more than a gathering—it was a space to listen, align, and collaborate around a bigger vision: accelerating the Gospel among the next generation.

Grateful for leaders like .miguel who are leaning into these conversations and helping build bridges across organizations.

We’re especially thankful for our local partnership with the National Network of Youth Ministries and how, together, we’re working to see greater Kingdom impact in this generation.

This is what collaboration looks like.

Denver wasn’t just a meeting—it was momentum.

On April 22–23, leaders from across North America gathered for the NXT Move North America Gathering—and something powerful happened.

Different organizations. One heartbeat.
A shared vision to reach the next generation like never before. This felt like a glimpse of what’s possible when unity moves from idea to action.

Grateful for leaders like Randy Davis and .miguel for creating space for alignment, prayer, and real collaboration.

We’re not slowing down—this is just the beginning.

What if the future of the Church in DFW was shaped by collaboration instead of isolation?

This 3-year research initiative is bringing churches together to uncover why students disengage — and how we can respond with wisdom and Gospel conviction.

There’s still time to be part of this city-wide effort.
Let’s lead the next generation with insight, not assumption.

A little throwback to our March Catalytic Community gatherings. 🙌

There’s something powerful about youth pastors and ministry leaders choosing collaboration over isolation — showing up for one another and for the next generation in our cities.

This is how this community grows — one gathering at a time.
