Speakers Announced for Charis Fellowship Conference 2025 in Lititz, Pa.

Mar 6, 2025

At Charis Fellowship Conference this summer, we’ll look at discipleship from different angles: one-on-one relationships, church culture, intentional outreach, and disciple making in the home. Join us as we explore what it means to be ALL IN.

Charis Fellowship Conference is a three-day gathering of pastors, ministry leaders, and committed church members for the purpose of studying the Bible, fellowshipping with other believers, and equipping for ministry. During main sessions we will worship together and receive biblical insight and instruction that will refocus our hearts on Jesus and what He did for us. Below are the speakers who will help guide us in that.
