UNSHAKEABLE

We live in a world filled with uncertainty, unrest, and chaos. Everywhere we turn, there are reasons to be anxious, discouraged, or afraid. Yet, in the midst of these storms, God’s Word offers us an unshakeable foundation of joy. The book of Philippians, written by the Apostle Paul while he was in prison, reminds us that true joy is not dependent on our circumstances but is rooted in Christ alone.

At this conference, we will journey through Philippians together, discovering how we can live with peace, contentment, and rejoicing hearts even when the world around us is falling apart. Come be refreshed and strengthened by the timeless truth that in Christ we can “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4).

Join Mark Sheldrake and Beth Schmidt for this two-day conference as we walk through God’s Word together.
