“What God Has Joined Together” conference

KITCHENER, Ont. – The 2024 Conference on Biblical Marriage, held May 3-5 at Grace Lutheran Church, brought together 125 guests from Southern Ontario, Ohio, Illinois, and as far away as California. Rev. Dr. Adam Koontz delivered two insightful lectures, preached God’s Word twice, and answered what seemed like an unending stream of questions. The content of the lectures was biblical advice on preparing oneself for marriage, what Christians should be looking for, the history of marriage, the gifts it brings, and so forth.

Grace’s pastor, Rev. Rob Korsch, led an engaging Bible study and conducted both Divine Services as well as a Vespers service. Mark Veenman collaborated with Heidi Gallas and local singers to form a beautiful choir that uplifted the worship. Volunteers at Grace made everything possible, including the huge amounts of food required to feed 125 people. There were also food trucks, a barn dance, and games. 

A pleasant surprise was the number of young families that attended. There is a real hunger out there for this type of thing and given the positive feedback it seems that hosting another conference next year is inevitable.
