The Human Pilgrimage

How do we live fully as creatures created, loved, limited, and liberated by God?

This conference will focus on how to be a human being faithfully, from birth to death, how we live well and take care of one another, and how we can answer the great commission in light of this reality.

Those who have not yet embraced the gospel need a winsome, skillful, and faithful presentation of this vision, in various creative forms, while those within the Church are re-evangelized and refreshed by understanding who they are as creatures in Christ.

The conference will also, we hope, equip any Christian present, including clergy, to address contemporary ethical and pastoral concerns related to living well in the full integrity of body and soul, from welcoming new life and navigating relationships, to embracing change and dying well.

The nearest airport is the Will Rogers World Airport.

If you prefer to fly into Dallas, the DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field Airport are both an approximate three-hour drive away.

The Renaissance Waterford Oklahoma City Hotel is across the street from the church.

Other hotels, as well as AirBnB accommodations, can easily be booked in the area.
