“THANK YOU! Every topic, feature, issue, and idea centered around how to help us churches do ministry. It was not about growing numbers for the sake of getting bigger. It was not about bringing in more money for the sake of getting richer. It was all about how to help us do ministry, and that means that you truly understand what we are doing in our roles and you are willing to come alongside us and help us. Thank you for being the partner we need!”

Accommodations
We are excited to partner with the beautiful and historic Fairmont Hotel in downtown Dallas. Our hotel block is from Monday, August 24th through Thursday, August 27th. This block includes rates from $159.00 per night for both King and 2 Queen rooms. Additionally, if you would like to come early or stay late, the same rate will be honored for 3 nights before and after the block. Staying at the Fairmont keeps you right in the heart of the Summit experience, making it easy to connect with fellow church partners, ministry partners, and the TouchPoint team throughout the week.
The hotel is conveniently located one block from First Baptist Dallas. Beat the heat and make an easy walk even easier by taking the underground tunnel between the two! (The tunnel is wide, well-lit, and adorned with art.)
Get your morning started right with coffee from the spacious Starbucks located in the Fairmont lobby. There’s also an onsite restaurant and plenty of seating sprawling across the main floor.

Tuesday: Welcome Dinner
At the conclusion of our first day, we will head back to the Fairmont Dallas for our Welcome Dinner and optional games.

Wednesday: Sixth Floor Museum
Located in the former Texas School Book Depository, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza offers a meaningful look into one of the most pivotal moments in American history. Overlooking the very site where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, the museum combines historical artifacts, photographs, and immersive exhibits that tell the story of his life, legacy, and the events of November 22, 1963.
This group visit provides a shared cultural experience that naturally invites conversation and connection. As you explore the exhibits together, there will be space to reflect, discuss, and engage with fellow Summit attendees in a setting that is both thought-provoking and uniquely Dallas. It’s an excellent opportunity to step away from the conference setting, deepen relationships, and enjoy meaningful dialogue alongside peers.
Location:
411 Elm Street
Dallas, TX 75202
Please visit this page to learn more about getting to the museum. The Summit team did a combination of walking and taking the DART. There are plenty of area restaurants to enjoy independent dinners before/after the museum.
Time:
Our group will visit the museum in two waves following dinner, with both time slots reserved as private tour experiences exclusively for our Summit group. The first group will enter from 6:00–7:15 PM, followed by a second private tour from 7:30–9:00 PM. Please select your desired wave during registration.
Price:
$35/person
“Our summit trip was the most productive thing I’ve ever been a part of. The conversations it sparked has made us more determined and put more light on our path forward.”
Frequently Asked Questions
This Summit will have tracks with information suitable for the Executive Pastor, Database Admins, CFO/Finance Team, Developers, Ministry Front Lines (children’s/missions/small groups/congregational care), Communications Teams, and those who are New To TouchPoint.
With the Fairmont Dallas one block away from First Dallas, we will not need buses this year! It’s a brief one-block walk (using sidewalks or via well-lit underground tunnels). This provides an easy commute for getting to/from the conference each day and to/from the Welcome Dinner.
DART stations are located throughout Dallas and cost just $3 per person per journey. This is a great option for getting between the airports, church/hotel, and Sixth Floor Museum. Please reach out to your Summit team if you have any questions regarding transportation.
The base ticket price includes Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday sessions and all meals and snacks at the church.
Our event kicks off Tuesday morning at 10:00am. You may fly/drive in the night before or Tuesday morning. Our hotel block includes Monday evening.
There are two great airports available:
This airport is further away but an easy commute with a $3 DART ticket. This is the route your Summit team tested, and it took us about 1 hour to get between the airport and church/hotel.
This airport is very close to downtown Dallas. With just one transfer between a bus and DART to get between the airport and church/hotel, it’s also an easy commute.
People in the past have worn a range from business casual to smart casual clothing. Blue jeans are appropriate — whatever will make you feel comfortable and ready to engage.
All after-hours events are also casual, so whatever you plan for the day will be suitable for evening activities. Please keep in mind that we may be outdoors for a small portion of time while transitioning between locations.
Each morning, a light breakfast is provided at the church. We will also provide lunch and snacks all three days. Our Tuesday Welcome Dinner will be held at the end of the first day. Wednesday evening offers free time for dinner. You may choose to grab dinner with your team or others from the event.
Please check the Accommodations section above. We have a hotel block with the Fairmont Dallas.
Yes! If you decide to come directly to First Dallas Tuesday morning, we will have a room reserved for luggage. We will also have a space reserved for luggage on Thursday.
While Summit registrations are occurring inside of TouchPoint, the Summit database is not tied to any other church’s database. It will not recognize your login credentials (unless you have registered previously), and you will need to create an account if you would like to have one inside of the Summit database.
If you are unable to attend TouchPoint Summit, please notify a TouchPoint Summit team member ASAP. Keep in mind that all registrants who cancel have the option to transfer their registration to another member of their church to attend in their place. If you would like to proceed with this option, please let the TouchPoint Summit team know who you are sending in your place and please coordinate with your hotel accommodation.
If TouchPoint receives a cancelation before 30 days of Summit (before July 26, 2026) he/she will be eligible for a full refund*.
If TouchPoint receives a cancelation within 30 days of Summit (on/after July 27, 2026) he/she will be eligible for a partial refund*, resulting in a $75 fee.
If TouchPoint receives a cancelation within 14 days of Summit (after August 11, 2026) and until the Friday before Summit begins, he/she will be eligible for a partial refund*, resulting in a $100 fee as well as covering all costs related to group activities.
There will be no refunds granted after August 21, 2026.
*Please cancel hotel reservations with your hotel directly.
