Community Events in Berks County

Life Surge comes to Santander Arena in downtown Reading for a single day built around faith and finances. The program gathers local Christians for worship, teaching, and stories from leaders who work at the intersection of belief and business, with a focus on why and how to create and multiply financial resources for Kingdom impact. The Reading bill includes Nick Vujicic, the Australian American evangelist and author born without arms or legs who now speaks around the world; Tim Tebow, the Heisman Trophy winner, broadcaster, and founder of the Tim Tebow Foundation; and Nick Foles, the Super Bowl winning quarterback. Additional speakers and worship music round out the day. Sessions at these events tend to cover financial stewardship, entrepreneurship, leadership, and using your time and work with intention. The day is shaped for anyone thinking about how faith informs decisions about money and career, from business owners and marketplace leaders to families and individuals looking for a clearer sense of direction.
