First church conference, what to expect?

[Rappar]

A buddy keeps raving about a multi-day church conference he went to in Arizona, with worship, speakers and people flying in from other states. I've never been to anything like that and don't want to feel lost. How do these events usually work, and how do you attend? Any conference near Prescott you'd recommend?

My first church conference felt a bit intimidating too, but it turned out to be much more relaxed than I expected. There was a welcome session, worship, guest speakers and smaller discussion groups, with breaks to meet people over coffee. I actually ended up making friends from another state! Most events let you register online beforehand, and some offer single-day passes. If you're around Prescott, this church location could be a good starting point for asking about upcoming gatherings: churches near me that are welcoming to newcomers . I'd ask about their events calendar.
