Our seventh Grace Family Conference at the lake will start the evening of August 16 and run through the afternoon of August 18 at Cross Pointe Camp & Retreat Center. We are looking forward to our church coming together to worship, fellowship, and explore what the Bible says about our theme: “Family Challenges & Opportunities".  

We are excited to have activities for children (walking to 5th grade) and a speaker coming in for the teens (6th-12th grades) during the adult speaker sessions! Cross Pointe is located at the Lake of the Ozarks and there will be opportunities for your family to spend time enjoying each other, the lake, and other activities.


Our speaker for the adults is Leandro Tarrataca, who is one of our missionaries from Brazil, scroll down to read more about him and his ministry and to see a video from him. He will be using Romans 12:2 to walk us through our time together. The speaker for the teens will be Josh Burt,  former Youth Pastor from Grace Bible who moved to Michigan in 2023 to be a Pastor at Grace Community Church. We have a wonderful weekend planned,  activities for the kids, and will be sharing more about the schedule as we get close!
