At the 2025 TWK Annual Conference, we will celebrate the presence of the Holy Spirit as we listen to what God is imagining for us as we live into our connectionalism and shared discipleship priorities. Our Guiding Scripture for this annual conference is Ephesians 3:20-21 -
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (NIV)
