Conference Info

We are excited to announce the 2024 fall conference that will be held October 25-27th. We want to invite you to labor willingly alongside us in an effort to obtain a new heart together.

Our Vision

Our vision and intention for this event is to create an environment where we can heal our past wounds and deepen our connections with one another.

It is our hope and prayer that through ‘play’ and the act of “becoming as little children”, we will begin to see ourselves and each other as God sees us so that we can do the work required to cultivate our relationships and obtain a new heart together.

We have put together a series of fun and meaningful challenges/activities to take place on Friday and Saturday mornings. Each one has been prayerfully and carefully designed to support our intention. There will be opportunities in each activity for self discovery and self reflection, so we encourage you all to bring a journal and pen, this could add greatly to your experience.

We may discover some of the things that divide, and correspondingly discover more of how to unite better as one. Please remember that this experience is meant to be fun, inviting and non-threatening to all involved. However, we do not pretend it will be easy. We simply wish to create a fun space where we can labor willingly with each other. We invite all ages to participate in the activities throughout the weekend.

In addition to the activities, the speakers have prepared talks to go along with the themes and intention of this conference. We are so grateful for the wealth of information given to us in the Covenant of Christ to help us understand the path needed to be taken to put an end to all disputations. We hope that this weekend will be a time we can all come together and unite our voices as one, as we begin to seek to understand this process. We believe the Covenant of Christ could provide some answers to what we ought to learn.

Sharing What We’ve Learned

We know that the questions “What have you learned? What ought you to have learned?” carry with them a lot of history and is a very sensitive topic. It is a heavy thing to consider, and we are not taking it lightly. You’ll notice we have this conference title worded “What have [we] learned? What ought [we] to have learned?”. That is intentional because we are hoping that we can look inside ourselves as a body with collective pondering, seeking for light on these topics. To acknowledge as a body that our hearts have not been right is no easy thing. In the answer to prayer for covenant we are told twice if your hearts were right… indicating that our hearts (plural) need our laboring together to be changed to a new heart (one).

Beating Our Swords Into Plowshares

Beating our swords into plowshares and obtaining a new heart is a refining process. This process requires that we take the swords and spears that currently divide us and use them instead to cultivate our relationships. The very issues that have been used to divide us is what is needed to bring us to further light and truth together. This is a process where we, by revelation, will learn of his ways in order to walk in his paths. We cannot skip the process by which revelation comes and a new heart is obtained. We do not fully understand how this process works, but we believe we understand, at least in part, where it must start. We hope this will become a joint effort.

Come ready to share, learn and labor to consider how we as people can be and do better. Can we rise up and sing in harmony together?

We are also very grateful for the hymn book effort that is underway! There will be a lot of music from the new hymns collection that will be shared throughout the weekend. We are grateful for the talent and efforts of all those involved.
