About this Event
Our conference, titled “Building Faith Together,” will take place on October 17–18, 2026. This two-day experience is designed to equip, encourage, and unite children’s ministry leaders, staff, and parents in the shared mission of raising children in Christ.
Our conference verse is drawn from Deuteronomy 6:6–9: “And these words, which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up…”
On Saturday, October 17, ministry staff and leaders will gather from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm for a day focused on Staff Leadership & Training. Breakfast and lunch will be served. The training sessions for the day will center around:
