About this event
Psalm 19:12 “Clean the slate God, so we can start the day fresh!”
Is that the cry of your heart? To be able to leave the past behind and start afresh? Have you ever wished your slate could be wiped clean?
We believe this is possible with God. The heart and purpose of New Life Conference is to create an opportunity for you to encounter God’s great love and the joy of a clean slate, fresh start and hopeful future. Whether you are still on your search for fresh meaning to life, or if you have been walking in faith for many years, New Life Conference will be relevant for you. In planning, preparing and praying for this event, our team has such a strong sense of God’s beautiful plan to redirect and reposition you as you embrace the Clean Slate He is offering.
