Family Conferences

Fellowship Around the Word of God

Inspiring Messages

Hear timeless Truths of God’s Word from speakers with a Biblical worldview who love the Lord and who want to be channels through which the Lord can minister! There is no part of our lives that God does not care about and desire that we surrender and walk in obedience to His voice. Hear from men and women who have walked with Him and would see Him glorified!

Rich Fellowship

Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” At Family Conferences families and individuals from across the country gather in Jesus’ name, united with the same desire to raise their families on the foundation of God’s Word. Meet families of all ages as you share similar experiences or hear a new perspective. Engage in meaningful conversations, share a meal with other families, and pray together as the Body of Christ. Invest in relationships that can last a lifetime.

Engaging Children’s Programs

There is something for your sons and daughters, ages 4 and up! Whether it’s Children’s Institute, ALERT Cadets, Pre-Excel, or COMMIT, your children will hear the Truths of Scripture shared in meaningful and creative ways.

2025 Conference Theme

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”

James 1:2–4

Our theme for our 2025 Family Conference is: “Count It All Joy.” It can be easy to get discouraged as we face difficulties in life and see the challenges our culture is facing. God’s desire for us as believers is that we lift our eyes off of ourselves and our circumstances and look to Him. Instead of just enduring the trials of life, Christ actually calls us to count these tests as joy!

How can we be joyful in the midst of hardship and why should we count these trials as joy? Because God wants to conform us into the image of Christ through the temporal suffering we are going through. We are able to experience joy even in our affliction, because we know He is doing an eternal work in our lives! II Corinthians 4:17 says: “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” God shapes us more into the image of His Son as we respond rightly to the irritations and tests we face in life by counting them all joy, through His divine enablement.

Jesus told His disciples in John 16:33 that in the world they would have tribulation. But then He tells them what their response should be: “but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

As believers, the joy of the Lord is our strength. Even in the midst of persecution, rejection, and trials, we can rejoice because Christ has overcome the world and He dwells in us!

We trust your family will be encouraged and challenged at the 2025 Big Sandy Family Conference through the engaging messages and meaningful fellowship to look to the Lord and experience His super-abounding joy even in the midst of trials!
