Hope Chapel Ministry Institute and Hope Chapel Women's Ministry is sponsoring a half-day conference for men and women featuring Dr.'s Erik and Donna Thoennes. The vision for this conference is to present a profoundly Biblical view of what it is to be male and female. We want those who attend the conference to leave, glorifying God in his magnificent wisdom in creating both men and women in his image yet with complementary roles.
Join us as we explore God’s high calling for men and women. Seating is limited for this conference so purchase your tickets early. The cost for the day's event is $15.00 and includes a boxed lunch.
The conference will take place at Hope Chapel Christian Church located at 2420 Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, California.
Tickets available at the Information Counter, Church Front Office or contact Corina Chinen at (310) 374-4673 ext 153.
Sorry childcare will not be available.
