PRE-CONFERENCE UPDATE: after registering for the main conference registration, you will be sent a link in your email for a pre-conference registration that we are excited to offer. Dr. Gifford will be handling issues covered in his latest book, "Lies My Therapist Told Me", and will be addressing commonly asked questions. Pre-conference starts at 1:30 PM on Friday afternoon, and will run for about 90 minutes. 

When we started the "Care Conference", our heart was to help equip churches in our area to understand their calling as the frontline of spiritual care in one another's lives, as we follow Christ. 

This year our focus is on relationships - "Relationships Matter to God: Strengthening Relationships at Every Level." God cares about our relationships - join us as Dr. Gifford leads us in a study of how Christ strengthens our relationships for God's glory.  

Dr. Greg Gifford will be our guide as he leads us through God's word to strengthen our relationships. Since we are saved into a family of sinners made saints, and God intends to grow us in the context of those relationships, it's vital for us to understand and grow in those relationships that exist in our local churches, in our broader communities, and also globally as we consider what it means to be a part of the universal church of Christ. Get signed up, and we are glad to announce that child care will be provided on Saturday for registered children (ages 2 to 11 yrs). Please fill out form at the link on the registration page.
