July 6 - 13, 2017

The North American Division Office of Education and the General Conference Faith and Science Council, in cooperation with the GC GeoScience Institute is offering a 2017 summer conference on Affirming Creation.

This subject is an important topic in our church today. If you have an interest in a deeper dialog regarding this relevant topic, I encourage you to plan on attending. We are inviting specialists, theologians, and scientists to make presentations. Please plan on joining us!

Registration opens January 15.

This event has a limited number of seats (300) and we cannot exceed that number, so prompt attention to registration is essential. Use the following links to both register for the event and make reservations.
