RULING IN THE MIDST OF OUR ENEMIES
MAY 16-18, 2025
ELK GROVE, CALIFONIA
As the mustard seed of the Kingdom expands, a tangible need arises: strong Christian communities must build their citadels amid the ruins of modern and postmodern society. Within these citadels, institutions must be established to equip their generations to fight and defend, build and maintain, conquer and order all things according to the Word of God.
The King’s Conference is a rallying cry, a call to action, announcing that this great work has already begun. Foundations are being laid across our land, and the way forward is clear—a path filled with the joy of brotherhood and radiant with the promise of eternity. Join us in the journey forward!
