About

The DHF 2021 National Conference is a two-day event for all pastors, church leaders and any believer who wants to be encouraged to fulfill Christ’s mission in their local church. Top notch speakers, relevant and practical breakout sessions, engaging worship, and time to build relationships is what you can expect to experience at DHF 2021 National Conference.

​

The Worship Arts team of our host First Christian Church will lead worship throughout the two-day event. Attendees will be divided into smaller groups to share a meal Thursday night. The intent is to network, meet, and make new friends. In short, to fellowship and share life.
