The Parenting Conference is a time to equip, encourage, and empower our families by partnering with them to disciple their kids.

Join us Saturday, November 2 from 10 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. at the Annapolis Campus for a day of learning about parenting in a Biblical way! Parents will select a track for the day, with options that include preschool, elementary and BASM tracks. Parents can attend tracks together, or attend different age group tracks separately.

We will offer a time of worship, breakouts, you'll hear from our lead pastor Greg St. Cyr, as well as a panel for questions. Lunch and childcare are provided, but childcare is limited. If you are in need of a financial scholarship, please email Kristin.Collins@bayareacc.org.
