Dr. Robby Gallaty Opens the 2026 Oucomes Conference

Dr. Robby Gallaty will set the stage as the opening keynote for the 50th Annual Christian Leadership Alliance Outcomes Conference. The theme is MULTIPLY, and we know well Dr. Gallatiy’s passion for ‘multiplication’ and advancing the Great Commission. This is the second time he has graced the Outcomes Conference main stage! We know he will bring inspiration to this milestone occasion and all it holds for every attendee.

God’s Call to Leadership

Dr. Gallaty serves as the Senior Pastor of Long Hollow Church. In 2025, he celebrated his 10th year, reflecting on all that God has accomplished through the church, its impact on the local community, and its extensive global outreach.

He wasn’t always a pastor, though.

For three years, he battled a drug addiction that ravaged his life. A $180 a day heroin and cocaine addiction forced him to steal $15,000 from his parents. After living without gas, electricity, and water for months, losing 8 of his friends to drug-related deaths, watching 6 friends arrested, and completing two rehab treatments, Robby remembered the gospel that was shared with him by a friend in college and was radically saved on November 12, 2002.

Eight months later, David Platt, a seminary student and church member at the time, asked Robby to meet weekly for accountability, prayer, and bible study. Over the next 2 years, David developed a passion for missions, expository preaching, and disciple-making. He also encouraged Robby to go back to school to pursue theological education.

He went on to complete his Master of Divinity Degree in Expository Preaching in 2007 and his Ph.D. in Preaching in 2011 from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

You can view his sermon series on the Long Hollow Website or watch them live online on Sunday mornings!

The Long Hollow Mission

The mission that drives everything Long Hollow does as a body of believers is expressed in this simple statement:

“Living out our God-given calling as we follow Jesus and make disciples every day.”

The church focuses on creating disciples of Jesus who are continually growing in four key areas:

  • Spirit-Led Follower
  • Intentional Friend
  • Humble Guide
  • A Force for Good

They have a deep passion for equipping and uniting members around this mission by offering extensive training to help new members find their pathway to belonging and service!

Starting Point is the name of their orientation process. This special training includes an easy two-part course where new members discover:

  • What it means to be a Spirit-led follower of Jesus
  • How to find a regular connection point at Long Hollow
  • Tools to discover your calling and use your gifts
  • And how to spread the Good News in your own circle of impact.

Each session consists of a short video and meaningful questions to help everyone reflect on their personal journey. New members can start in whichever session they prefer, but we always recommend starting to ensure the best experience.

The Outcomes Conference 2026 Book of the Year!

Dr. Robby Gallaty is the author of numerous books and also provides a wealth of discipleship resources through Replicate Ministries. He is the co-author of the Outcomes Conference Book of the Year, Movement-Ready Church: A Blueprint for Multiplying Disciples. 

The book releases on March 3, 2026!

As Christians, we embrace the Great Commission to mobilize & multiply disciples!

The outcome of a Christian Ministry is to know that your ministry equips disciples who make disciples. But how do you move from good intentions to a clear, practical plan? How do you measure success by more than program attendance—by true life transformation? How do you carry ministry beyond the walls and into the places your people live, work, and play? And how do you cast a compelling vision that turns passive attenders into active disciple-makers?

In Movement-Ready Church, Dr. Robby Gallaty and co-author Vick Green. guide you to build a disciple-making blueprint tailored to your unique context. Drawing from decades of equipping pastors in every kind of church, they provide the tools, frameworks, and encouragement you need to renew your heart, reshape your culture, and clarify your strategy. Whether you feel stuck or know there’s more, this book will help you activate the disciple-making movement your church was made for.

Going Deeper and Becoming Movement-Ready

Following Dr. Gallaty’s main stage presentation, he will team up with Vick Green, CEO of Repliate Ministries, and Brad Daughrty, COO and Lead Navigator for Repliate Ministries, for a 5-hour Summit. They will train church and non-profit ministry leaders on the three essential elements for leading a disciple-making movement and on how to create a personalized plan to get started. Attendees will recieve many valuable resources to advance the implementation of their plans. If you have a passion to increase your competency in disciple-making, this is the summit for you.
