Simple Church Conference 2018

REGISTRATION DEADLINE AUGUST 17TH

DESCRIPTION

Connect with and learn alongside simple/house/organic church practitioners from around the region at this year’s simple church conference. We will take 24-hours to “REFRESH.”   More of a retreat than a “conference,” Gavin Duerson will be facilitating times of encouragement as we look together into God’s Word, and enjoy meals at the Bluebird Cafe!  Come and be refreshed by communion with friends and Christ!

 

This year we will be staying in the guest homes at the Wilderness Inn in Standford, KY! Visit Website Here.

Children?

At every simple church network gathering, we always encourage children to come.  However, for this one day, we do ask that parents make other arrangements for children (unless nursing).  We really believe, for couples, having this one day out of the year to consider the call to make disciples and serve in a simple church a great investment in your family.  Please let us know if this is an issue and we will work with you to help arrange childcare if none is available to you.

Single?

Please don’t misunderstand, this is not a “marriage retreat.”  We welcome you to come!

Meals?

Registration does not include meal costs on Saturday.  We highly encourage anyone who can to plan to have lunch and dinner at the Bluebird Cafe!  (click here to see website) You will not regret it!  There are also nearby restaurants and each home is equipped with a full kitchen.  If we have guests stay in the St. Asaph Inn, it also has a kitchen area for guests.  A light breakfast will be served on Sunday morning for us to share.

Extra Night?

If you want to come Friday night, please let us know asap.  We can make arrangements for that to happen, but space will be filling up and we do not have rooms on hold for Friday night.

FAQs

 

What should I bring to the event?

Do you have a friend who would benefit from being encouraged by others in simple churches?  Also, bring along a Bible, pen, notepad, comfortable clothes and open heart.

You can view the menu at the Bluebird Cafe here.  You are also welcome to bring your own food and eat in the home.
