You're Invited!
We'd love to invite you to a day that you can be intentionally encouraged and equipped! Kids are facing difficulties like never before and studies are finding kids leaving their faith after high school. We believe the Church can have hope and live intentionally today with the next generation's future in mind. Whether you're married without kids, a single parent, a foster parent, a parent of any age child, or even a grandparent that wants to support their kids... this is for you!
Meet Our Main Speaker Matt Markins!
As the president and CEO of AWANA, he will speak to what they are seeing in their research on child discipleship and the culture at large while offering helpful insights into what keeps kids in the faith long term.

Meet Our Breakout Speaker Chris Cirullo!
Chris Cirullo is based in Eugene, Oregon and after playing college football at The University of Oregon, he joined the Army and completed 4 tours to Afghanistan as an Army Ranger with the 75th Ranger Regiment. Chris followed the Lord's leading to take his then side project of coaching Christian fathers, full time. He now heads up Mission-Fit Dads, a discipleship-oriented fitness coaching company, serves on the team at Forming Men - helping with projects like Man Year, and Primal Path - and spends his spare time pouring into his local region with prayer and discipleship efforts.

All The Details...
It is our heart to encourage and equip parents! We desire to see your family flourishing in the Lord and embracing your family’s place in the Kingdom of God. There is freedom in taking the smallest step toward this! Even if the Lord speaks one thing to you in this conference or you simply feel united to His Church, we believe it will be worth it.
We pray that this conference will not be something that makes you feel heavy and have another “thing” added to your parenting to-do list, but something that prompts your heart to pursue Christ deeper, find hope amidst the culture we are in, and be encouraged of God’s love for your family’s unity.
