Liberty District Conference

Sept 23 - 25, 2024
Canadensis, Pennsylvania

Theme: Uncharted Territory

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

The world in front of us is nothing like the world behind us. As we move into the future, it is with the realization that change, and the pace of change have increased drastically. How do we react? How do we respond? It is in uncharted territory where our trust is challenged, our faith is deepened, and we see God respond in ways that we could not conceive or imagine.

Please note that September 10 is the last day to register for this event!
