Our conference theme is Out of the Dust and we look forward to a great series of session in diving into what it means to be created in the image of God.

MAIN SESSIONS

• Who Are We? Whose Are We?: We see in Genesis that God has made us in His image, but what does that mean? Matt Smethurst will share what it means that God formed us “Out the Dust” in His image.
• Why are We Here?: Every person must answer the question of why exist. Dean Inserra will walk through what Scripture says is our purpose and meaning in life.
• What’s Wrong with Us?: In this session, Trevin Wax shares what Genesis 3 shows separates us from God and reconciles us back to Him.
• When is it Right to Rebel?: Scripture commands us to both follow God’s commands and to submit to authorities. Erik Reed walks through what we know from Scripture when those two things are at odds.
