Conferences

General Conference Description

Each of the family conferences examines God’s Word as the foundation of the area of life being studied.  The seminars are scripturally based and are a good mixture of fun, humor, and practical instruction.  The seminars are great opportunities to invite unchurched families in the community.  Each seminar is taught using the Bible and a workbook especially prepared by Family Fortress Ministries.  The workbook is filled in as the seminar is presented and also includes projects to be applied personally during the sessions.  This increases effectiveness, as people are encouraged to be doers and not hearers only of God’s Word.

General Conference Schedule

The complete conferences each include 6 teaching sessions and 2 preaching services (except for ladies conferences).  We recommend that you start the seminar on Friday night with the sessions continuing on Saturday.  The Saturday sessions require about 5 ½ hours teaching time plus any extra time allotted if your church includes a meal.  The last teaching session is held during the Sunday School hour.  This session can be expanded to include all adults and teenagers.  The evangelist will preach a message on the family during the AM service.  The weekend and commitments are sealed with a special ceremony on Sunday night.

Special Services


The Renewal of Vows Ceremony – The Celebration of Marriage conference optionally concludes Sunday night with a Renewal of Vows Ceremony.  The couples line up accross the front of their church and renew vows and exchange wedding rings in unison.  Many couples who didn’t have a church wedding or weren’t saved when they got married will cherish this ceremony.  It is also a great time for couples to show their commitment of love toward each other to their children

Bestowing A Blessing Ceremony – Throughout the Leaving a Legacy parenting conference parents and teens have been instructed to apply Biblical truths and challenges to their individual and family lives.  Now during the Bestowing a Blessing ceremont they have an opportunity to declare their new commitments and their continued love to their family.  The teens honor their parents by presenting their tributes (prepared in the weeks before the conference).  The Evangelist will then preach a special sermon teaching the head of each family how to bestow a blessing upon their family.  This will be a very special time that your family will never forget!
