Welcome
“We all want to hear stories, from the moment we are born to the moment we die. Stories connect our little lives with the world around us and help us discover who we are. The Bible is a storybook, and the Gospels are four stories about the birth, death and resurrection, of Jesus, who himself was one of the greatest story tellers ever”
Henri Nouwen

This years men’s conference will highlight stories, but more importantly on Jesus Christ, the author and perfecter of our story. As pastors, our hope for this weekend is that you will leave having had the opportunity to not only share your story and hear others, but also to hear the story of God!

Psalm 78:2-4 " I will teach you lessons from our past, stories we have heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us. We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the LORD, about his power and his mighty wonders."

What to expect
General Sessions: The core of each general session will be God’s word and will highlight a story from the life of Jesus in the gospels or the Apostles in the book of Acts.
