Flourish Conference 2024

April 18th, 19th & 20th
Weston, Florida

We're excited to see you at Flourish your Faith Conference 2024!
At the Flourish Conference we gather in unity as Christian brothers and sisters in the blessing of Psalm 133. And we say, “Come, Holy Spirit,” as in the upper room, as by a new Pentecost. Flourish is a place where we seek revival, expectant of a Holy Spirit outpouring of grace and holiness. We enter into intimacy with Jesus and are sent out, as Christ's Body here on earth, to spread the Gospel and make disciples.

What an amazing time of prayer, growth, fellowship with other believers, and the best part, my husband getting completely wrecked by the Holy Spirit! On the flight home he was telling the gentleman beside him all about the weekend!
—  Tracy,   Conference Attendee
One of the most powerful days I've spent in such a long time. The speakers were impactful and on-point. The worship music was amazing. I felt like I was floating for days afterwards from being surrounded by God's love.
