While some of the most compelling speakers in our faith community will be presenting, this gathering won’t be your average Adventist event. It isn’t controlled by the church bureaucracy. It is organized by lay people that have a fresh vision for a positive, progressive future for the church.
Our theme is “Christ Challenges Culture” and our goal is to embrace a grace-centered, clutter-free approach to faith, living as Jesus would in today’s complex environment.
