The Teleios Conference is now less than three weeks away. Register to attend in person at Oklahoma Christian University or online at the conference’s website.
This year’s conference theme is “Gen Z: The Ongoing Conversation.” Our hope is to engage thought leaders, scholars, church leaders, and youth and family ministers as we learn together how to better include and empower Gen Z in our faith communities. While this is an academic conference, all who are interested in this topic are welcome to attend.
