14th Annual Mid-Central Regional Exodus Conference

October 2 - 4, 2009
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

 

Exodus Regional Conferences are annual weekend events across North America that provide help to those who personally struggle with homosexuality and those affected by a loved one's homosexuality. They also provide training for those ministering in the area of homosexuality and education for all who wish to learn more about this important topic.

The Mid-Central Regional* Conference will be held October 2-4, 2009 at Draper Park Christian Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The conference begins with check-in at 5:00 pm on Friday and ends Sunday morning. It will be an encouraging time for all who personally struggle with homosexuality and ministry support for those who have a loved one who struggles with or embraces homosexuality. This conference is also an incredible opportunity for pastors, ministry leaders, counselors and anyone wanting to learn more about how to minister God's grace, truth and justice to a world impacted by homosexuality.

Pastors and Ministry Leaders are welcome to join us for a separate meeting earlier in the day beginning at 10:00 am Friday; please RSVP to First Stone Ministries by September 30th if you are interested.
