“Fan into Flame” Men’s Conference
October 31 – November 1
Registration OFFICIALLY closes Saturday, October 25!
“Fan into Flame”
In 2 Timothy 1:6-7, Paul urges Timothy to “fan into flame the gift of God”—a reminder that the fire doesn’t keep itself burning; it needs to be stirred, fed, and fueled. It is our hope that through this Men’s Conference, God’s Spirit would reignite our passion, lead us to step boldly into our calling, and to strengthen us to stand firm in faith. Join us for a time of meaningful teaching, heartfelt worship, and authentic connection with other brothers in faith to be encouraged and equipped to live out our calling as godly men.
