THE VENUE

St. John’s Resort in Plymouth, Michigan is more than a venue. For decades, this property was a seminary. It was a house of prayer, study, and formation for men preparing for the priesthood. There is something fitting and beautiful about building on that sacred history as we gather ordained and lay leaders for the mission God has entrusted to us now.
Because becoming authentically human happens in and through relationship, how we gather matters just as much as where we gather. We won’t gather in rows. We will gather around tables, because tables form family. They help us look one another in the eye, listen with intention, and make room for real friendship to grow. Friendship restores what is weary and strengthens what feels uncertain. It also reminds us that God often works through one another in ways we cannot do alone. This is the posture we want for the whole conference: not spectators, but a family drawn together by Jesus.
