You may register to be added to an Advanced Track Waitlist - In early July, if not sooner, we will be re-evaluating the possibility of opening additional spots for the Advanced Track. Assuming we are able to do so, we will email you (according to your placement on the wait-list) and offer you the opportunity to register.
For those who have already attended the fundamentals track or Cornerstone Self-Confrontation Class. These topics go deeper into biblical counseling and address complex problems from a biblical perspective. These topics change each year so returning attendees can further their training.

DIFFERENT THIS YEAR
Due to the COVID Pandemic, you can expect a few changes this year:
- Currently our church requires masks and social distancing indoors. We will continue monitoring County and State requirements and provide more specific instruction as the conference approaches. Lord willing, the guidance for masks at large conferences will be reduced to a suggestion and not a recommendation.
- Snacks and drinks will be available; however, we will not be hosting meals this year. We ask that you eat dinner prior to attending on Friday night, and eat breakfast prior to attending Saturday morning. The schedule will allow time for you to leave campus for lunch.
- We will provide Student Notes in digital format only, as opposed to hard copy. You will have access to the digital notes prior to attending so that you can print them yourselves, should you prefer paper copies.
