Do you want to understand the Bible more confidently, apply it more faithfully, and use it more effectively to encourage others?
This conference will equip you with practical tools to help you use God’s Word with greater confidence, clarity, and compassion as you invest in the lives of others.
Grounded in the Word
Growing in our confidence to understand, live, and share God’s Word.
How can we become more confident in understanding Scripture? How does God’s Word speak into the everyday challenges we face? How can we use Scripture to encourage and help others?
This conference will equip you to make God’s Word the foundation for every area of life and ministry.
Together, we will explore three practical ways to grow:
1. Know the Word
Learn how to engage with Scripture personally, study it carefully, and better understand how it applies to everyday life.
2. Live the Word
Discover how Scripture guides our decisions, shapes our responses, and helps us grow through life’s struggles and challenges.
3. Share the Word
Grow in your ability to communicate biblical truth with love, clarity, and confidence as you encourage and disciple others.
Whether you lead a ministry, serve on a team, disciple your family, or simply want to grow in your walk with Christ, this conference will help you become grounded in God’s Word and better equipped to help others.
Grow with us as we learn to know, live, and share God’s Word!
