general conference info

 

FLAGSHIP EVENT

We seek to gather leaders of revival in the Church to encounter God’s refreshment, encouragement and impartation of greater anointing for ministry.

Conference participants can expect an atmosphere of Spirit-filled worship in the presence of God, Holy Mass, inspiring and transforming keynote speakers, breakout sessions, Eucharistic Adoration, a healing service, fellowship and many opportunities for prayer ministry and growth in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

conference schedule

June 26-28, 2024

Schedule TBD

holy mass + EUCHARISTIC ADORATION + CONFESSION

You’ll have opportunities to receive God’s mercy through the sacraments and spend time with the Lord in Eucharistic Adoration with Benediction. 

youth tracks

These specialized groups will be lead through powerful activations, taught how to hear God’s voice, and empowered to use the supernatural gifts they were given at Baptism. We want the youth of the church to see God’s love made manifest through signs and wonders and know they do not have a mini-Holy Spirit. God wants to love them and love through them. 

 

healing service

We believe that not only does Jesus still heal today, but that healing is one of the most powerful ministries of evangelization. Jesus never preached the Gospel of the kingdom of God without demonstrating the kingdom through signs, wonders, and miracles, with healing as the most frequent demonstration of God’s love.  This will include a time of worship and praise, proclamation of the Gospel and preaching, corporate prayer for healing ending with individual prayer teams for healing. Come prepared for breakthrough!

breakout sessions

There will be unique opportunities for receiving personal prayer and to offer prayer for others. Encounter prayer teams will be available for impartations for greater anointing, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, physical healing and more.
