Therefore Go: Cultivating Caring Communities
Description
Join us in Boston on March 23rd for Therefore Go: Cultivating Caring Communities. Many people have focused on the breadth of the Great Commission while inadvertently overlooking the need for depth in the Christian community for it to have its full effect. This conference intends to continue changing that narrative. We will discuss a variety of topics, including abuse, bridging the gap between married and unmarried Christians, and sexual addictions. The gravity of each of these topics varies, but the process of Christians growing in their understanding and care for each of them is, in one way or another, critical to the Great Commission.
