GENERAL CONFERENCE

His Church

Jesus said, “I will build my church...and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matt 16:18


In the Conference this year, we will focus on how Jesus continues to build his church — locally, nationally and globally — and how we can participate in this work.


The Conference has moved to a Saturday to make it more convenient for people to attend. We look forward to an abundant crowd of brothers and sisters from all across the Apostolic Christian Church!

OPENING MAIN SESSIONS

The Declaration

Speaker TBD

Peter confessed that Jesus was the Christ, and on that declaration Jesus said he would build his church and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. As a church, our foundation is that Jesus Christ is God’s Son who came to save us from our sins and place us in his church.

 

Who is the Church?

Speaker TBD

In this talk we will explore the various aspects of the church starting with Christ, the head of the church. We will then look at the church as his body in its various forms including the global church, our denomination, and local congregations.


Following the two morning main sessions, attendees will break into three group, attending the topic of their choice.

His Church

Speaker TBD

This session explores how Christ is building his church, including how he leads us and partners with us. We are his body empowered by his Spirit and equipped with various gifts to live out his commission.

The Global Church

TBD

In this breakout we will look into various aspects of the global church including mission partners, our relationship with other churches in community events, and considerations on serving those in need.

Our Denomination & the Local Church

Speaker TBD

God has gifted us each uniquely as members of his body. We'll examine various giftings and how Jesus has called us to follow him and come alongside others to disciple and encourage them.

MAIN SESSION

The Gates of Hell Will Not Prevail

Speaker TBD

What did Jesus mean when he said “the gates of hell shall not prevail against" his church? We will look at the importance of abounding in love and holding on to the promises of God as we strive to overcome and persevere in his power.


After a break, most attendees will go to a small group discussion on 1 of 5 topics shown below. For those who prefer a presentation instead, there will be an alternate large breakout session in the assembly.

Abounding in the Love of Christ — Resisting the Devil

Participants will share how God has worked in their lives to help us resist the devil and learn to abound in his love. This will include how we have engaged others in fellowship as well as discipleship and mentoring.

Global Missions

This group we will share our hearts for missions, and/or how we have been blessed to be involved in global missions and its impact on our lives.

Engaging in the Local Church & Community

In this discussion we will share how our local churches are engaging each other as a body and the communities around them, including the blessings and challenges we have encountered.

Godly Men & Women in the Church

This discussion will explore the biblical callings of godly men and women in the church, drawing from Scripture and church teachings to foster clarity, unity, and faithfulness in today’s context.

How do we Partner with Christ as He Builds His church?

This group will dive into questions around partnering with Christ. We will explore things like: What is our role? What is his role?  Are we taking on too much or neglecting our duty?

ALTERNATE BREAKOUT SESSION

Doctrinal Discernment
Speaker TBD

In this breakout we will look at what it means to be discerning including looking at emerging trends in the church, false teachings and how to discern the spirits.

FINAL MAIN SESSION

We are More Than Conquerors

Speaker TBD

As we close out the Conference, we will explore how we as his church are more than conquerors in his power. He has given us his Spirit, his armor and has promised to be with us to the end.
