living gospel church 53rd annual

missions conference: us & them

The gospel is the greatest message that has ever been heard; that Jesus Christ came into this broken and fallen world in order to rescue us from the penalty of our sins. He died on the cross, in our place, so that we might have eternal life in Him. All this comes through faith alone in Jesus!

This saving message is given to us, God's people, and He calls and equips us to tell the world the good news of Jesus! We do this by equipping and encouraging one another to share the gospel with our family and friends. We also are a church that cares deeply about the world, so we partner with dozens of different individuals and organizations that are bringing the gospel to people groups around the globe. We celebrate these relationships at our annual missions conference.

Jesus commands us in Matthew 28:19: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” Now is the time to step out in faith and be part of His great mission! We invite you to a this year's three-day Missions Conference filled with inspiring speakers, powerful worship, and opportunities to learn how you can impact the world—locally and globally. Whether you're called to go, send, pray, or support, this conference will equip and encourage you to be part of God’s work among the nations.
