2026 Conference Theme: Biblical Manhood
God’s Word reminds us that all people — men, women, and children — are created in His image and called to walk in His ways. The theme of Biblical Manhood is not just for men alone, but for the entire Body of Christ. As Ephesians 4:11–12 teaches, pastors and leaders are called to equip God’s people for works of service, so that the whole Church may be built up in Christ.
This conference invites men and women to discover together what it truly means to live according to God’s design for manhood, rooted in strength, humility, love, and righteousness. How can we recognize what a biblical man looks like unless we are taught from God’s Word? This is our mission: to teach, to equip, and to encourage.
For our young men, this means growing into mature men who hold firmly to a biblical worldview. For our young women, this means understanding the beauty of God’s design and recognizing the qualities of men who walk in the righteousness of Christ.
This is a pro-life, pro-family gathering that celebrates the sacredness of life and the truth that every man, woman, and child is Made in His Image.
Doors will open at 9:15 AM, with breakfast served at 9:30. The program will begin at 11:00 AM.
Join us for a day of prayer, worship, teaching, and fellowship as we fulfill God’s instruction in Ephesians 4 — to equip the saints and strengthen families through the truth of His Word.
As part of this gathering, we invite the Bride of Christ (the Church) to serve our community by donating diapers to support local pregnancy resource agencies in Stark County, Ohio. Our goal for 2026 is 50,000 diapers (sizes 3 and up) to bless families in need.
Come and be a part of this special day as we worship, learn, and serve together, growing as disciples who reflect the heart and character of Jesus Christ.
There is no cost for this event. However we ask that you register if you plan to attend. (Registration will open in January.)
