Surge Network Leadership
Surge Network is a movement of local churches united to put Jesus on display through equipping our congregations, sending servant leaders, and blessing our cities. Surge is a collaborative partnership of many local congregations throughout Arizona. We are not a para-church or a separate nonprofit, but are a family of local pastors and church leaders committed to serving the church in Arizona alongside one another. Our leadership, financial support, and mission is all carried out through the many local congregations involved.
