The Michigan Christian Convention will take place Friday and Saturday, April 12 & 13th. The 2019 Convention has decided to tackle the topic of “Justice and the Church”. Within the scope of this theme, we have reached out to two speakers to discuss how the Church can better live out Scripture’s call for how we as Christians should relate to the poor and the mitigated in our society and in the Church. We hope that you’ll join us as we wrestle through Scripture and the implications of this topic.
