An Invitation to Transformation

This is more than a conference—it’s a sacred summons. A call to die to self and rise into the fullness of Christ. Join a community of believers hungry for more: more of God’s presence, more consecration, more clarity of purpose, and deeper kingdom relationships.

This gathering is for those who:

Crave a life-changing encounter with the living God

• Long to be conformed to the image of Christ

• Yearn to know God and make Him known

• Desire authentic fellowship with other believers in both the church and the marketplace

Prepare to be marked by the cross—and mobilized for the Kingdom.
