Missions Conference

October 10 & 11

What makes the invitation in Matthew 11:28-29 unique from others is that Jesus is not inviting a specific person or group of people to come to Him. In this invitation, He is inviting all to come to Him. Jesus wants every person to see His love for them, and He wants to use His followers to help share this invitation with their family, friends, community, and to the ends of the earth.


Our annual missions conference celebrates what God has done through Second in building His Kingdom and reminds us why sharing the Gospel is so desperately important for the community and world around us. Come celebrate!
