The 2011 US National Conference is six months away. Join us July 6-9 as hundreds of United Brethren from across the country come together to worship, learn, get acquainted, and grow closer to Christ.
Over 800 people attended in both 2007 and 2009. This is a Big Deal for our denomination.
Everything you need to know can be found at USNationalConference.com. That includes:
- Schedule
- Costs
- How to register
- Workshops
- Lodging
- Things to do
- Nursery, children, and youth
- And much more
Once again, we will meet at the Sawmill Creek Resort in Huron, Ohio. Two changes were made with the date:
- We moved the conference a little later, so that all graduations and open houses should be done.
- We’re starting on a Wednesday and concluding at noon on Saturday. Previously, we went from Thursday to Sunday noon.
The past two national conferences dealt with the Great Commission. This year, we will “Focus” on the Great Commandment–loving God, and loving others.
Registration Costs
Individual: $55 ($65 after June 1)
Family: $90 ($110 after June 1)
You can register online now. Or, you can wait for the registration brochures which will be mailed to all churches in a few weeks.
