Speakers
Rev. Demetrius Booker | THE PUSHING STONE
Start Fresh, is our state annual empowerment conference, created for and by Christian leaders. Why the name “Start Fresh”? Because most ministry and ministry leaders have been inactive or dormant over the winter, this conference serves as a rally to start the new year fresh. If you are looking for low cost, high impact learning opportunity for your leaders, Senior Adults and even Pastor spouses, Start Fresh is the conference you will want them to attend. READ MORE

The recent Revival at Asbury in Wilmore Kentucky, reminds all of us of the importance of allowing God to use our Youth/NXT Generation of Christ Followers. Later this year, I will be celebrating my 50th Year as a Christ Follower! I thank God for my youth and children’s ministry leaders (Both are still living), for their commitment to raising up next generation leaders. Today, there are new individuals committed to raising up a new generation of Christ followers. I thank God for them!
