AIPC 2024
THEME
As we look around, it is clear that there is a need for the Church to be salt and light in our country. But what does this look like for our churches? What are the ways in which we can meaningfully engage our culture? Where should we expend our efforts as we seek to impact the nation with the gospel? And most importantly, what does the Bible teach us about the mission of the church?
FOR WHOM
This conference is an annual event bringing pastors from all over the country in order to encourage them, to foster a partnership with like-minded brothers and to share resources amongst one another.
