By the time we get to the end of January, we're often running on empty. The demands of work, home, personal life, and ministry reach their climax over the holidays. Our busy schedules leave us out of breath and ready to have our bodies and spirits renewed and refreshed by the Word of God, good music, and the fellowship of godly co-laborers in the faith. These are the reasons we have Heart Conference and why so many men look forward to the encouragement it offers.

Join us for Men's Heart Conference on February 1-4, 2011 to hear challenging speakers as they address topics directly related to your ministry. Workshop tracks on preaching, counseling, current issues, and leadership will encourage and rejuvenate your spirit during those cold winter months!
