THe ​Reconstruction ​Initiative

In an era bent on deconstructing the powerful ​foundation of the christian faith for western civilization, ​christians are finding themselves defending the faith ​once delivered to the saints not from outsiders, but often ​from within our own circles. As conservative Bible ​believing churches we are not immune to the alluring, and ​diluting effect of culture. Today, faith deconstruction, also ​known as evangelical deconstruction a movement within ​American evangelicalism where Christians are rethinking ​their faith and abandoning previously held beliefs, and ​practices. This sometimes happens to the point of no ​longer identifying as Christians, or as we are seeing more ​and more, many raised up in solid Churches are ​surrendering our long-held distinctives for more ​progressive, and more pragmatic approaches. As ​followers of Christ, it is important to look deeply into our ​faith and message and experience revival and ​reconstruction that only our Almighty God can bring. 

Reviving Biblical Manhood and Womanhood

This conference will address one of the key issues of our day and provide concrete biblical answers to equip our churches.

Together we will strengthen our minds and seek the Lord for revived hearts.

OUR GOAL

Unite churches to promote and preserve the biblical distinctives that have made some of the greatest Gospel-sharing people in the world.
