About this year's Summit theme

Sexual Integrity Leadership Summit (3)

Sexual shame and confusion plagues many inside the church today. Like our first parents, Adam and Eve, we prefer to hide from our Creator rather than turning to Him for healing and forgiveness. This year, we aim to help Christian leaders take their clients and congregants deeper into the transformative love of Jesus. Whether you work at a church, para-church ministry, or clinical office, SILS is dedicated to giving you the tools you need to share God's healing touch with those you encounter.
