Sept 15 - 16    Make Us One Conference    FREE
DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel, Jefferson Road

One of the significant signs of the times is the full ripening of the wheat and the tares as told in the parable of Matthew chapter 13.  It is obvious that the tares are indeed becoming more ripe in the world--hatred, offenses abound, and division.  On the other hand, the wheat is ripening as the Holy Spirit draws the attention of true followers to focus more upon Jesus Christ and His will for our lives. This produces the fruit of righteousness, peace and unity within the body of Jesus Christ.  The witness of the wheat will be what Jesus said to his disciples in John 13:35, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”   The Make Us One Conference is part of a countercultural movement where Christians from diverse backgrounds are intentionally coming together to lift up One Man, Jesus Christ, who has called us to be His One Body!

Sept  30    Stop Suicide Seminar
​Webster Assembly of God

9:00 AM - 12:00 Noon. Saturday, September 30 from 9 – 11 am with Evangelist Nick Costello at Webster Assembly of God.This in-depth seminar will give you a solid understanding of suicide intervention, prevention and postvention. YOU CAN HELP SAVE A LIFE!  Wrestling overwhelming pain and hopelessness, teens have a deathwish like never before. Many conclude suicide is their only way out. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for 10-34 year-olds, and the fourth leading cause of death for those 35-54. It’s invaded communities, workplaces, schools, the military, and even churches
Suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention (caring for suicide survivors) is everyone’s responsibility. Through proper training, we can all be more prepared to detect warning signs with the hope of prevention, as well as better understand how to support families who have experienced the loss of loved ones due to suicide. This epidemic is real, and we need to do our part to take responsibility and support our community. Attend this informative seminar addressing the issue of suicide, taught by Nick Costello, a former crisis relief chaplain with the Billy Graham Assoc. Nick received training from The International Critical Incident Stress Foundation and University of Maryland instructors, on suicide. Free Beverages and refreshments will be available!

Oct 6    The Best of CFAM Tour w/the  Collingsworth Family

7:00 PM   Since their first engagement together as musicians for a church camp in Petersburg, Michigan in August, 1986 until now, the ministry God has given Phil & Kim has expanded and flourished until it is a full-time livelihood that involves their entire family. Their boundaries of influence have expanded until they have sung and played all over the United States (as well as internationally) into their 36th year of ministry. Their constant, persistent attention to cutting-edge arranging, musical excellence, and a proper balance of spiritual emphasis are the keys to success God has helped them tap. ​

Oct 7    Micah Tyler - The Praise The Lord Tour
​Roberts Wesleyan University

7:00 PM     It’s hard to imagine how many times Micah Tyler spent his days wondering ‘what’s next,’ while driving a sausage delivery truck across southeast Texas. Surely he was questioning his own discernment to quit his youth pastor gig, sell half of what he owned to move his family into a single-wide trailer, and start traveling the region performing songs he’d written.  Fast-forward down that long road and the same guy behind the delivery truck wheel now has a record deal on the same label as MercyMe, Newsboys, & Skillet as well as multiple Dove Award & KLOVE Award nominations, two BMI Top 25 Christian Songs, an appearance in a major motion picture movie, and five #1 songs.   Hundreds of nights on the road have certainly honed Micah’s purpose for ministry through a growing list of self-penned tunes borne from a place that’s as real as the person he’s trying to be. “These songs are battle-tested,” says Micah. “I want to live the music I’m writing. There are some songs I can’t write because I haven’t lived there yet. When someone comes up to me after a concert and tells me how my songs affected them, I want to make sure they know I can relate.”

Oct 28    Zach Williams in Concert
​Kodak Center

Zach Williams' powerful and poignant journey spans how a boy with a storybook childhood filled with wonderfully nurturing parents, a strong and supportive grounding in the church, and a warm and loving local community was seduced away by the illusion of rock stardom, and the drug and alcohol excesses that can so often accompany that lifestyle.  These days, the Jonesboro, Arkansas-raised and currently Nashville, Tennessee-based artist is a renewed man. He’s a husband, a father, and has also become one of CCM’s leading artists and songwriters by carving a niche with his singular blend of southern rock, country, and faith-filled songwriting, which quickly awarded him his first GRAMMY Award® with his debut album, 2017’s Chain Breaker. With two additional GRAMMY nods among numerous other accolades, he now returns to share his boldly vulnerable and hope-filled sophomore album, aptly titled Rescue Story.  Zach’s music pulls from the hard luck truths of outlaw country, the dirt-road grit of southern rock, the contemporary roots music of alt-country artists, and a firm grounding in classic and contemporary Christian artists that stretches back to his dad’s old Petra records. His songs enlighten and uplift, revealing powerful transformative moments and stirring affirmations to stay on God’s path.
