COMING SOON: The 75^th Anniversary of Adult Conference

CELEBRATION DATES: June 18-22, 2012, at Northwest Christian Church, Columbus, Ohio

Plan to attend the Conference as a full time participant or you can register, if necessary, for part time status. Your spiritual experience will add to an excellent spiritual atmosphere that past conferees have reported having. [The Vesper Services and the Consecration Service on Thursday night are free of charge and open to the public]. You can expect to be spiritually enriched.

Those attending 2011 Adult Conference in June of 2011, reported that the Bible Lecturer (Dr. Margaret Nutting-Ralph); the Vesper Speaker (Rev. Dr. Jack Sullivan)' Teachers (David Belcastro, Harry Bolen, John D. Johnson, John "Tim" Savage, and Jim Schimmel); and forum leaders (Rev. Dr. William Edwards. Sara Critchfield-Travis, Bill Anderson & Lynn Baker-Mattox); words of inspiration and challenges, left a powerful and positive impact on the Conferees.

"A typical day at Adult Conference goes forward after Devotions, and includes choosing two enlightening classes to attend (always a difficult decision), thought-provoking daily Bible Lectures, and inspiring sermons at nightly Vespers, as well as educational and informative Forums, wonderful meals together, opportunities to take part in the Conference Choir, enjoy the ice cream social, sing-a-longs, free time activities, and so much more. In the learning, worship, fellowship and fun, spiritual journeys are enriched and deepened, new friendships are made, and lives are changed.

In short, Adult Conference is full of endless possibilities where faith is deepened and broadened, ministry leaders are born and nurtured and fellowship within the wider Church is strengthened. Adult Conference is a place of inclusive welcome, where conferees are free to explore issues openly and honestly, without judgment. Scholarships are available for those who wish to attend but do not have the means to do so, and those details will be in the clergy camp mailing. We hope that many will be able to experience the far-reaching impact that Adult Conference has in the lives of individuals."

Testimonies:

Why I come:

Being somewhat of a "new kid on the block" with attending Adult Conference, I can tell you it's one of the best decisions I've made spiritually. I was apprehensive at first as I only knew the folks from Lima. With in a day, I made life long friends and was made to feel right at home in the spirit of God's love. God led me here for some very good reasons!

The chance to engage in hearing wondeful speakers, bible studies, and have time for your own devotions is so needed in this day and age. Hecticness, stress, and long hours wear us all down. Adult Conference is like an oasis in renewing and refreshing your spiritual being. It's also a great way to get mentally and physically recharged.

If you've not attended Adult Conference before, give it a try! It's well worth the time! If you've not been here for a few years, we've missed you and would love to see you again!
