The family conference will include meals, family worship sessions, breakout sessions on specific topics for adults and teenagers, and a breakout and fun activities for children. We encourage families to worship together in the main sessions, but there will be a nursery for little ones (ages 0-4) who may not be able to sit in the sanctuary for those extended periods of time. Please add everyone attending, including nursery age children, to the registration form!
Breakout Sessions (Adults will be asked to choose below, but you are welcome to each attend different breakouts and share your notes! Current 6th-12th graders will attend both listed for youth.)
