About Faithwalkers East

1. How did the Faithwalkers conference come into being?

The Faithwalkers conference came from the desire to give young men and women the opportunity to hear pastors who have been devoted to Jesus Christ and the Great Commission. At Faithwalkers, people get to hear stories from these men of faith and to learn and benefit from their experiences. The conference provides a way to continue to pass on the core beliefs of the Great Commission church movement. It is a rallying conference for everyone: young people, couples, parents, and families, to inspire them to be devoted to Jesus Christ and the Great Commission. The name Faithwalkers was inspired by the Scripture: "We walk by faith and not by sight," (II Cor. 5:7). Also the name Faithwalkers makes a connection to the Native American culture where they would sit around the campfire with the "old ones" listening to them tell stories of the great hunt and deeds of the past. As Christians, older believers are to proclaim the deeds of God to younger believers, as is written in Psalm 78:4: "We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord."

2. When and where is the next Faithwalkers-East conference?

On December 30, 2015 – January 2, 2016, Faithwalkers-East will be held at the Ridgecrest Conference Center in Asheville, North Carolina. Use of Ridgecrest, a LifeWay Conference Center, for this conference does not imply alignment with or endorsement by any Southern Baptist group.

3. What is the theme at the 2015 Faithwalkers-East conference?

This year, the theme is "Defining Moments"

Defining moments. Our lives are marked by defining moments.

Followers of Christ can all point to times when God revealed Himself to them in a special way. At these moments God's word became alive to them. And their lives were never the same.

These defining moments can happen when we least expect it. Other times God visits us during a time of great expectation. He can speak while we are alone in prayer. And God can make Himself known when we are with a multitude at a conference.

This year at Faithwalkers East you will hear the stories of devoted Christians whose lives were shaped by defining moments. You will hear testimonies from these passionate followers of Christ who counted the cost to follow the word of God.

Come and join other faithwalkers as we hear from the God who transforms our lives through defining moments.
