Standard of dress:
Please be aware that this is a serious matter that has become a major issue of concern. The standard of dress for the conference is found in the following scriptural principles:
Our dress should be modest (not tight, not revealing, not too short)
We should not be a stumbling block to others
Whatever we do, we should do it to the glory of God.
Parents and guardians, please be sure that you and your children are aware of these standards of dress, and are compliant. Know that they are based on a desire to honor the Lord and to prefer one another in Christian love.
Nurseries:
The nurseries (ages 0-2 years old) depend primarily on the parents and others attending the CFC. The nurseries are during both morning and evening sessions. If you have children this age you may be called upon to help with a maximum of 2 sessions during the week. Additionally it would be of great help to have individuals volunteer to serve everyday, in either the morning or evening time, in one of the nurseries to provide continuity for the children. This schedule will be worked out prior to your arrival at the campus. Others without nursery age children that can help are asked to indicate this on your registration form. There will be specific instructions concerning your nursery responsibilities at Registration when you arrive. If you are able to help more than twice or are unable to help, please indicate this in Special Information on the back of your registration form so that those scheduling the nurseries plan accordingly. There will be no provision for nursery age children during the afternoon fellowship times.
Children:
There will be nurseries and classes for children through eighth grade during all the ministries. The children's classes will focus on the Apostle Peter as the evidence of one that is caught and kept.Children ages 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult, group leader or chaperone during the conference.
Teens (Grade 9-12):
Teens will also meet as a group for morning prayer (see Schedule for time). The teens will have their own morning ministry. During the fellowship time in the afternoon, the teens will have their own group fellowship. Teens should sit with their families during worship and remain with their parents or guardians during the evening ministry.
Recreational Facilities:
Bee McLeod Recreational Center will be available to use from 1:00pm-3:30pm during the Rest and Recreatin schedule time. We will have a basketball court and pool for your use. Exercise and workout equipment is for adults. All areas will require conference supervisors.
Fellowship Groups:
Brothers and sisters will be asked to share around the morning and evening ministry with the emphasis on what the Lord has revealed to them at the conference. These groups will be small so that all will have the opportunity to share. We believe that our fellowship times are in many ways as important as the ministry and therefore we encourage all to attend and participate in these times.
Bookstore:
The conference bookstore will be located in the Tidewater space in the Sadler Center. The times will be posted in the handbook that you will receive when you check in. Books will be available for purchase at near-cost prices.
