Calvary Family Conference
“The Mission and Ministry of the Family”
Friday, April 24 | 6:00–8:30 PM
Saturday, April 25 | 8:00 AM – 2:30 PM
Calvary Crown Room
For married couples, single parents, grandparents, and engaged couples — with or without middle and high school students!
The family is founded by God, and its mission is inseparably linked to fulfilling God’s purpose for marriage, demonstrating His love for and relationship with His people. God uses spiritually healthy families to achieve His foundational purpose of “filling and subduing the earth” and reaching and illuminating this dark world.
Are you interested in exploring God’s mission and ministry for your family? Join us at the Calvary Family Conference! We’ll seek the Lord together and discover biblical, practical, and encouraging ways to grow as spiritually healthy families.
Cost: $30 per adult, plus $10 per teen (ages 11–18)
Includes meals. Free childcare is available for children through age 10.
