Friday, October 18th
Dinner 5:30pm - 6:15pm | Conference 6:45pm - 9:30pm
The Family Conference at Grace is FREE and designed to strengthen and develop spiritually healthy families and individuals. Our passion is to assist families in learning Biblical principles and practical applications, in order to help their family grow in faith and equip future generations to follow Jesus.
This conference will help develop Christian families and empower them through the Word of God, so they may achieve the purposes of God. True Biblical hope and the empowering promises of God are the building blocks that enable lasting change in our families.
We are creating a legacy and celebrating the family in the body of Christ! Meet families of all ages as you share similar experiences or hear a new perspective. Engage in meaningful and fun conversations and share a meal with other families as you connect at the family dinner and create a strong community of like-minded Christian families.
Kids and PreTeens, birth – 6th grade, will have a great time in Grace Kids with games, inflatables and our attractions; playscape (1st-6th grade), carousel & train (4yr-K). They will have impactful times of spiritual development on how to articulate their faith and to effectively explain why they believe what they believe.
Students, 7th – 12th grade, will attend Anthem Youth. As Christians, we have an unshakable hope because of the gospel. We want our students to understand:
· What is the gospel?
· What is evangelism?
· What is my testimony?
And why they should be sharing Jesus as faithful ambassadors, no matter the cost. This will be a time to connect in small groups, powerful services, worship, games, and fellowship.
Young Adults, (ages 18-30) will have a special breakout session to connect with each other and explore Scripture, offering practical and spiritual guidance to help bridge the gap between everyday life and the divine.
Begin praying and asking God what unchurched or unsaved person and/or family you should invite to experience this conference with you.
In addition to the conference on Friday evening, we are asking families to make this weekend a selah moment, a family sabbath weekend. A time where you are intentional about setting aside everything else in life and dedicating this one weekend to your family development. How can you do this?
- By attending the conference on Friday night.
- By taking Saturday to spend as a family.
- By bringing your family to church on Sunday.
- By taking Sunday night for a family dinner, devotional, game time, and/or movie night and to seal your weekend with anointing your family and through prayer.
We want to help make this a great family weekend, so we will be passing out a Grace Family Bag at the end of the conference to each family. It will contain game ideas, devotionals, craft ideas and projects, ways to spend time together as a family, table talk questions for meal times, and other ways to continue, or begin learning, how to connect as a family and continue to grow together spiritually. There will also be door prizes throughout the conference with resources and fun family items!
Now more than ever, families need Biblical truth as the foundation of their homes. Join with us at the Family Conference in raising up spiritually healthy families!
Family Dinner will be from 5:30 – 6:15pm. We will be serving Chicken Alfredo, mac-n-cheese, chips, dessert, and a drink.
Grace Market will be open during the conference to purchase resources, t-shirts, kids items, Bibles, and more!
