ALUMNI BANQUET - Registration is still open!

Was DiscipleMakers an integral part of your growth in Christ as a student? Would you like to learn more about how God is continuing His life-changing work on more campuses than ever before? Please join us for dinner on Saturday night, the 21st of October, for an alumni-only event in which we'll pull back the curtain on what's happening in the ministry and how you can help. Even if you can’t attend the full weekend, we’d love to have you join us for dinner and the main conference session to follow.

If you would like to attend this special event only then the cost is $45 per person. If you are attending the entire conference then the cost has already been included in your registration fee.

Join Us for a Weekend You Won't Forget!

DiscipleMakers' annual Fall Conference is the perfect place to take the next step in your walk with Jesus. There is something for everyone, whether you are checking out Christianity for the first time, have been a Christian for many years, or are an alum of our ministry.

We'll spend 5 sessions all together, worshiping the Lord and learning about the week of Jesus' death and resurrection. In addition, on Saturday you'll be able to choose from 16 different breakout sessions on a variety of topics, and engage with missions agencies working around the world through our Missions Fair. So join us for this year's conference, and a weekend that you won't forget!
