What is Creative Conference?
Creative Conference is a weekend for you to be inspired and developed by professionals in various creative fields. Whether you are a student artist, musician, kid min volunteer, preacher, photographer, or theater enthusiast, you will benefit from attending Creative Conference! The first night you will be able to experience the work of artists. The second day, those same artists will be teaching workshops on various topics in their discipline to help you refine your craft. God is going to use these two days to inspire and develop the students and leaders across Kansas!
