2024 Theme: Spiritual Fatherhood

Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth. - Psalms 86:11
The theme for the 2024 Conference is Spiritual Fatherhood. We are called to be Spiritual Fathers for our children, our friends, and our community, teaching others Jesus' way, the truth and the light. Join us as we come together to grow in our relationship with Jesus so that we may both humble ourselves to learn from God the Father and our Spiritual Fathers here on Earth, and step into the role of Spiritual Fatherhood ourselves.

As you know, we treated each one of you as a father treats his children, exhorting and encouraging you and insisting that you conduct yourselves as worthy of the God who calls you into his kingdom and glory. And for this reason we too give thanks to God unceasingly , that, in receiving the word of God from hearing us, you received not a human word but, as it truly is, the word of God, which is now at work in you who believe. - 1 Thessalonians 2:11-13
