Restoration Grace Conference

Restoration Grace is a conference your family, church, and city need you to attend and the pro–gay activists hope you’ll miss.

What to Expect

The Conference is designed to encourage and equip the Church with knowledge and resources to actively respond in a Christ-like manner to a world impacted by homosexuality. To a parent or spouse who has heard the words “I’m Gay” we provide support, encouragement, answers and hope. To those who struggle with unwanted same-sex attractions we offer the Good News these desires can be triumphed over. Our conference is available to pastors, ministry leaders, counselors, strugglers, over-comers, teenagers, family members, and friends.
