This year’s DHF National Conference is a must-attend event as we celebrate the future of DHF with Randy Roberts as our next Executive Director starting in March 2026. Don’t worry... Rick Grace will still be around on a part-time basis. 😅 We will have a time of worship, encouragement, and connection with church leaders from around the country. Bring your leadership team with you as our main speakers and breakout class leaders focus on issues facing the local church. See you in April!
