SEMINAR
Who Am I & Why Am I Here? Discovering Your Purpose & Identity in Christ
Jim Kilmartin
Before you can walk in your God-given purpose, you must first know who you are in Him. In a world that tries to define us by achievements, opinions, and circumstances, God calls us to a deeper identity—one rooted in His truth. This session will unpack how your identity in Christ shapes your purpose and how your purpose fuels your calling and assignments. No matter your age or season, come ready to be inspired, equipped, and empowered to step fully into who God created you to be!

Whether you’re seeking rescue in challenging times or aiming to enhance flourishing connections, this seminar offers encouragement, hope, and vision to help you build a strong, joyful, Christ-focused family.

Living into Your Call
Ryan Walk
Step into your God-given purpose at Living Into Your Call—a powerful seminar for men and women seeking to lead with Christ at the center of their lives. Explore how your role as a businessman or businesswoman can become a platform for faith-filled leadership, both in the workplace and within the church. Discover practical ways to embrace your calling, inspire others, and live boldly for Christ in every aspect of your life.
Faithful Perseverance in the Midst of Trials
Abbie Long
The Greek word for Persevere means to remain or abide, especially in the midst of trials. If you are reading this, you are not alone in having ‘faced trials of many kinds.’ But often we question, Why? Why did God ‘allow’ this to happen to me? Or, If God is really good, then wouldn't He have prevented this trauma?
James 1:2 states, “Consider it pure joy when you face trials of many kinds…” If this verse makes no sense to you - how can joy and trials exist at the same time? - then I want to reassure you there is joy on the other side of your pain!
Jim Balzano
What is the Gospel?
Rethinking What You Think You Know
The average believer cannot adequately and completely explain the gospel to an unbeliever or even other believers. They typcially shortchange the entirety of the gospel message unable to articulate the power, beauty and majesty of the greatest message ever proclaimed. This breakout will challenge your concept and understanding of the gospel as it expands your perspective of the Gospel so you can effectively share with others.
Ministering to/Parenting the Next Generation
Engaging Generations in Unity Part I & II
Micah Marshall

You have one of the most important- and sometimes the most difficult roles on the planet. This workshop will encourage you, equip you, and present the lens in which this future generation sees the world. We will talk about the future generation, diversity, technology, communication, social media, spiritual growth and so much more!
Imago Dei: Engaging the World from a Place of Knowing Your Identity
Bethany Marshall
Daughter, defined by what God says about you. Psalms 139:14 says, you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Who or what have you allowed to define you?
In this breakout session we will discuss God’s word and discover what God has to say about our worth, value and who He has created His Daughters to be. When God’s truth defines you there is nothing in this world that can unravel you.

Picking Up the Broken Pieces
Rick Teal
I will tell a story about a man I know well who experienced one of life’s worst fears that shattered his life into pieces and left him struggling with making a decision of ending his own pain, or, leaning in on his faith and picking up the broken pieces and bringing them to the Lord trusting in his Holy word, and trusting in his sacrifice and never-ending love and salvation he gave to all of us.
After they hear the story, they will know the decision he made and who he is.
Dare to Be Different: Standing for Jesus in a World That Wont
Josh Simoneti
Were talking about what it means to stand out for Jesus when the world pressures you to blend in. Culture pushes trends, opinions, and values that often go against Gods truth. But as followers of Christ, we are called to be set apart, to shine as lights in the darkness and to stand firm in faith even when its unpopular.
Well talk about the cost of standing for Jesus, the courage it takes, and the reward that comes with it.The world may not celebrate your boldness, but God does. And when you stand for Him, He stands with you. So, the question is: Are you ready to dare to be different?

Redeeming Dance

All ages welcome.

A Heart for Missions
Cindy Noel
The dictionary defines mission as ‘an important assignment’. God has designed you to have an important assignment for Him because He calls us all to be on a mission - for some, it means living and serving in a different culture across the seas, for others, it means serving in your community - could be as a nurse, a pastor, a teacher, a caregiver. In this seminar, Cindy will share her nearly 30 years of mission work, both stateside and abroad. We’ll talk about how to discern God’s voice and guidance to know what His important assignment is for you; steps to prepare your heart and mind for any mission; how God equips those He calls; and when obedience requires sacrifice.
Feminine not Feminist

How to stand up and be a Woman after Gods heart in a culture that’s trying to divide men and women and redefine femininity.
