We begin with a Friday evening taco truck dinner followed by an inspiring message from our UK keynote speakers, Lucy Moore and Martyn Payne. Stephen Fischbacker, Scottish composer and musician extraordinaire, will get us out of our seats and dancing with lively music throughout the weekend.
On Saturday, October 21 there will be more music, more inspiration, more food, more plenary sessions as well a variety of best practice workshops and a Messy Church organized by our host church, Community United Methodist Church of Huntington Beach. Their beautiful courtyard (pictured below) will serve as our gathering space for our weekend conference.
