FENTON, MI – Christ is speaking to His Church! For many of us the study, “Experiencing God” by Henry Blackaby and Claude King was transformational in our spiritual lives. They helped us see that God is always at work around us, and to learn Biblical principles to identify what He is doing. We were challenged to align our lives with God and join Him in His work.
The spirit of listening to and obeying the risen Christ will take center stage at the Church Revitalization Conference, September 22, at Eastgate Baptist Church in Burton. Richard Blackaby and Mark Clifton are helping churches across North America through: “Revive. Reversing the Trends. Reviving the Church.”
The conference will focus on:
“Christ’s Presence and His Church”
“Christ’s Purpose and His Church”
“Reclaiming the Glory”
“Developing a Powerful Praying Church”
“Leading Out of the Overflow”
