Willamette Community Church

A one-day conference, helping students understand their sexual identity accurately.

A conference designed for 6th-12th graders, parents, and anyone that works with youth. Everyone is welcome (please, no children under the age of 10). By Design will be Saturday, January 28, 2023 from 9 AM-5 PM with a 1.5 hour lunch break (lunch is on your own).What will it cover? By Design will offer foundational human design and relationships principles from a natural law perspective. That is, the conference will make the case for biblical truth by arguing primarily from God’s World which reinforces God’s Word. The content will draw heavily from CanaVox curriculum.What is CanaVox? CanaVox organizes reading groups around the world to study the truth about marriage, relationships and sexual integrity. Reading groups draw on natural law, social science, history, economics, philosophy and psychology to help participants articulate challenging truths with clarity, conviction and compassion. Think of CanaVox as the why behind what God says.What’s the schedule? By Design morning session will cover the topics of love, friendship, marriage and sex through plenary and breakout sessions. We welcome all parents and students to join us in the morning. Afternoon sessions will be geared toward High School students and will cover identity, same-sex attraction, transgenderism, and pornography. Generous Q&amp;A will be offered throughout the conference. While presenters will not share explicit content, they will answer student questions honestly, thus afternoon sessions will be more suited for older teens. What’s the result? Many Christian teens know what the Bible says about marriage and sexuality. By Design helps them understand why those teachings are so good. Teens become proficient in spotting damaging lies in class, in conversations, and online, and become undercover agents for the good. Who should come? Any teen who:<ul><li>is curious about scientific, non-religious responses to LGBTQ issues</li><li>feels unequipped to respond to cultural ideas about relationships, sex, gender and marriage</li><li>has unanswered questions about God&#x27;s design for sex and marriage</li></ul>We encourage teens to attend with their parents to encourage child-parent communication on these sensitive topics. We also encourage youth pastors to bring their youth groups. When/where/cost? Willamette Community Church, Saturday January 28, 9:00-5:00pm. $10/person
