26 September, 2022

Description

Join us for 3 days of worship, teaching, connection, and songwriting! Refresh your spirit and make co-writing friends for a lifetime. Connect and RefreshThis year's conference focus is connection and community. We have purposely allowed more space and time for attendees to connect with one another. The conference is strategically placed at 4th Avenue Church of Christ, within walking distance of five coffee shops and dozens of restaurants, allowing plenty of time for making connections and building lasting relationships. More Co-WritingThe other emphasis is to be intentional with our co-writes. We have added an entire day dedicated to co-writing with the optional Writing Retreat ticket add-on. You can submit completed songs from these co-writes for consideration to be included in the end-of-conference celebration where a full worship band will learn and play your song live as part of a night of worship and celebration.
