Vocation and Recreation to the Glory of God

Today, there is considerable confusion over what it means to be a man or a woman.
The opening pages of scripture teach us that God made us male and female in His own image for unique purposes to glorify Him. We know the differences between men and women are important because God says so, but sometimes we fail to understand how far-reaching these differences are. In this conference, we will explore and seek to better understand how our male and femaleness shape our work (vocation) and play (recreation).

  • Be sure to account for all children who will be taking a seat during your family's registration so we can ensure we have enough seats for everyone.
