Unavoidable Conversations: Discerning the Future of the Church Together

Conference FAQs:

Is there a cost?
Yes, unfortunately, we are not able to provide this conference for free. Registration is $150 per person and only covers our costs.

Will it be live-streamed or recorded?
No, while we would love to involve more people, we feel that with the main component being dialogue between authors, pastors, staff, and leaders followed by additional Q&A after each discussion, it would be much too difficult to capture. The goal is to invite people into a conversation.

Is this a Vineyard Conference?
No. All are welcome, no matter the denomination.

Will there be childcare?
No. We are not able to provide childcare.

Will there be another conference?
Yes. We certainly hope that this is the beginning of ongoing conversation.

Have you ever had a question but were afraid to ask? Or maybe you had a question that you were told you shouldn’t ask. Sometimes, the more we learn about something the more we find that we don’t know. As we seek to love God and love others, as we read and study the scriptures, as we apply exegesis and hermeneutics, as we lean on church tradition, all in the face of an ever changing cultural context, sometimes we need to have a conversation. For those of you who find yourselves in this place, Unavoidable Conversations is a safe place to ask those questions and to have those conversations. We would love to be your host.
