Seen. Known. Restored.

We all long for connection, belonging, and a place to bring our whole selves before God.

Join us November 13–14 at St. Mark’s for East of Eden, the Buford Bowen Conference, featuring Dr. Chuck DeGroat. Through teaching, worship, and conversation, we’ll explore God’s restoring presence in our lives.

Save the dates and invite someone to share the weekend with you.
