Homosexuality: Truth, Grace and a Biblical Reponse
September 17 -19, 2010
Union Center Christian Church - Endicott, NY
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
It’s been
three years since the last Exodus North Atlantic Regional Conference so this is
a great Regional opportunity for ministry, worship, training, prayer and
fellowship!
This year
we are truly blessed to have Joe Dallas as our Keynote speaker! Joe’s ministry
in sexual addiction recovery and homosexuality is nationally recognized.
He is the author of The Game Plan - The
Men's 30-Day Strategy for Attaining Sexual Integrity, Desires In
Conflict, The Gay Gospel? and When Homosexuality Hits Home. Joe Dallas is also
the Program Director of Genesis Counseling in Tustin, Orange County,
California.
You may
be wondering, “Is this conference for me?” If you’re
a man or woman struggling with unwanted Same-Sex Attraction this conference is
especially for you. If you’re a Pastor/Youth Pastor, Counselor or Christian
Lay-Leader/Helper this conference is for you too. If you’re a parent or friend
of someone who is struggling with or has embraced homosexuality this conference
is for you. If you have a concern for your neighbors or coworkers but don’t
feel like you understand homosexuality from a redemptive, Biblical perspective
this conference is for you as well. Come and join us and get to know and uphold
others in our Region who are on this journey together.
This year’s
conference will include Testimonies, Worship, General Sessions and Workshops
covering a variety of topics related to homosexuality. Some workshops will be
geared toward men and women who struggle personally, and other workshops will
focus on educating and equipping leaders/helpers as well as family and friends.

the conference will be officially over on Saturday night, Joe Dallas will be also
be preaching at two services on Sunday morning, September 19th
