CONNECT DEEPLY WITH GOD


"Stop and consider God's wonders" Job 37:14b

If you think back to the wonder-filled moments in your life, they were often unexpected.
Your little one's first faltering steps into your outstretched arms. The moment you first glimpsed God's personal love for you. Somehow, in these moments of wonder, the world stopped. And you stopped to consider.

At the 2009 Arts Conference, we invite you to push pause on the normal routine of your life, and to open your heart to God's truth and splendor. As you nurture an authentic connection with Christ, it will flow from your art. You will transcend performance and enter into true praise.

Throughout the week, find renewal through transformative classes and workshops that help you rediscover the child-like wonder of following Christ, as you:

  1. Rekindle your yearning to know God intimately through Main Sessions with powerful speakers like Efrem Smith, Darlene Zschech, Joel Houston and Nancy Beach. Have your own mountaintop experience that reenergizes you for the work of creative ministry.
  2. Find personal revival through Skill-Based Breakouts that provide practical instruction and inspiration. You'll learn how to set a standard of excellence in the church ministry while maintaining a strong, vibrant and personal faith.
  3. Fellowship with other artists and exchange stories of God's work in your lives and ministries. Enjoy mutual encouragement with others who have an authentic relationship with God.

We also invite you to allow God to minister to you through song. On Wednesday night, Hillsong United will lead conference attendees in a worship experience. Thursday night features an unplugged worship experience led by Charlie Hall.

Revitalize your relationship with God. Plan on taking advantage of unscheduled time at the conference to let God speak to areas of your life that need healing, rest or new life. As you delight in God's wonders anew, He can lead you to a fresh commitment to Him and your creative ministry. Register now!
