The Gospel Shaped Home: God's Wisdom for Where You Live
The home is where faith is most tested—and most formed. Join us for the 2026 Hampton Roads Pillar Conference as ordinary local pastors teach God’s wisdom for the home. Whether you are single, newly married, raising children, caring for aging parents, or walking through relational pain, this conference will offer biblical wisdom and gospel hope for every season of life.
