2018 Spring Conference - Strong in the Gospel

Storms in life are inevitable. Being human means facing waves, struggling to stay above the current. We want to be people who are strong in the gospel. But what does that look like? This year, our spring conference focused on the book of Romans, when president Dave Patty unpacked what it means to live not ashamed, without excuse, justified by faith, dead to sin and alive to Christ. The result is a transformed life where we are more than conquerors through him.
