Keynote Speaker Tim Harlow

Lead Pastor, Parkview Christian Church

We are convinced that God has called COMMUNITY to be a generous church!  And that means that just as we help people find their way back to God, we also want to help people grow in generosity. In these economic times of uncertainty, how can we begin to help each other make the Jesus Mission a certain investment and accelerate this mission?  On Saturday, February 6th we will host the 3rd annual Generosity Conference.
