The Church is God's plan to bring healing to the world. How can we achieve His mission?
You're warmly invited to FOTW Boston’s annual gathering—a weekend of teaching, connection, and encouragement around seven essential themes: alleviation of poverty, biblical counseling, conflict resolution, discipleship, evangelism, family relationships, and church governance. We welcome you to come and share insights, grow together, and deepen our collective commitment to Jesus and His Kingdom. Come and hear speakers from different backgrounds share on these important issues for your church and ours.

Don’t miss this chance to engage with like-minded disciples—register now and be part of the conversation.
