JULY 27 - 29, 2018
SPOKANE CONVENTION CENTER
"IN THIS WAY THE LOVE OF GOD WAS REVEALED TO US: GOD SENT HIS ONLY SON INTO THE WORLD SO THAT WE MIGHT HAVE LIFE THROUGH HIM."
We live in a world where there are voices shouting at us from all sides, trying to tell us who we are and who we aren’t, who we should be and who we shouldn’t be. If we pay too much attention to these voices, it won’t be long before we forget our true identity altogether. But amidst all the noise is our loving Father, who wants to make Himself known to us and speak truth about who we are. God’s love is deeper and His plan for our lives is greater than anything the world has to offer – will we allow Him to reveal it to us? Come experience the love of God in a new and more profound way. He has so much in store for you.
