WORKSHOPS
BREAKOUT SESSION 1
The Greatest Question for the Church: The Pentecostal Movement & the Holiness Movement
Rev. Gary Heimbach
The filling of the Holy Spirit through the lens of Ephesus in Acts 19. There is confusion in the church concerning the filling of the Holy Spirit, and increasingly Wesleyan-Arminian churches are dealing with this question. There was no confusion in the Book of Acts. This workshop will identify the true evidence of this infilling and give a solid biblical foundation for understanding and discerning what is authentic and genuine from what is synthetic and misunderstood.
How Holiness Affects Generational Giving
Rev. Steven Lester
Giving will not make you holy! But one of the outflows of a heart fully sanctified by the Holy Spirit is the gift of generosity. In our time together, we will explore the tools the Foundation offers to help multiply these gifts for ministry now and in the future. What a joy to know that when we get to Heaven, we can leave behind assets that will continue to build the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.

Viewing Science from a Biblical Worldview
Dr. Paul Madtes
Science and the Bible historically have been integral in understanding the world and its Creator, with conflict only arising in the past two centuries. A proper interaction between science and the Bible will provide a view of science that enables one to apply its findings in ways that help a Christian navigate in a world that places a high regard for science.

Transgender Language and Lies We Need Truth On

Understanding the issues surrounding the cultural push for transgenderism. How do we respond as Christians? How do we minister to those bound by gender dysphoria?
BREAKOUT SESSION 3
The Importance of Virtues and Character Development in the Life of a Christian
Dr. Paul Madtes
Scripture directs Christians to allow the Holy Spirit to enable them to grow in Christ-like character. This is rooted in Christ and gives rise first to humility, then other virtues, resulting in godly character. However, guidance on how to grow often is missing. This presentation provides practical ways to experience this growth.
Prayer: Cultivating Holiness in God’s Presence
Rev. Lenny & Joy Wisehart
The impulse to pursue God originates with Him. We make the plea and God makes the answer. And this relationship between a seeking soul and a loving God develops intimacy. And as this happens, as pray-ers, we discover He was there all the time waiting to be with us.
