Labor Day Weekend Conference
Come and be encouraged by the extended weekend of Bible study, fellowship, worship, and relaxation. The conference is designed for covenant families and we encourage covenant families, couples, and singles to attend. See Registration for more detailed information.
This conference has a fairly long history, being one of the first conferences held at the Center. Each year the topic is different with different speakers. The conference gives the attendees time for fellowship with those in other churches. Attendees of a broad age range have found it to be a time of spiritual refreshment at the end of the summer season.

Who made heaven and earth.
