The Home and Church Conference
About: There is a battle waging for the soul of the next generation; now is not the time to lay down our arms. More than ever before, we need all hands on deck as we seek to disciple them within a culture promoting lesser gospels. The young people in your life need both the home and the church. The Home & Church Conference is a weekend that will transform our priorities. It is a unique opportunity for leaders within both environments to learn, grow, and consider how to give our best efforts to reach and disciple the young lives around us. In addition to main sessions focusing on how the Scriptures guide this initiative, we will have practical breakout tracks for Home Leaders (parents, grandparents, etc.) and Church Leaders (pastors, ministers, leaders, etc.). The Home Track will equip families with a discipleship strategy, a technology framework, a discipline guide, and much more. The Church Track will help leaders evaluate current structures and make practical adjustments for a family ministry plan that incorporates both parents and programs.
