Each year, our committee prayerfully plans Sound the Call, our Sanctity of Human Life conference, with a desire to encourage, equip, and strengthen those serving in pregnancy care ministries and the local church.

This weekend is designed to bring pregnancy care ministries and the local church together for encouragement, equipping, and challenge through worship celebrations and joint sessions. The eyes of hearts will be enlightened to know the hope of our calling in Christ and the riches of His inheritance for such a day and time as this for one more child and family.

You can expect:

Worship led by the Jason Lovins Band
Guest Speakers, Ministry Leaders and Pastors
Men’s Ministry Network
Annual Men’s Warrior Bonfire
Breakout Workshops

“HAVING THE EYES OF YOUR HEARTS ENLIGHTENED, THAT YOU MAY KNOW WHAT IS THE HOPE TO WHICH HE HAS CALLED YOU, WHAT ARE THE RICHES OF HIS GLORIOUS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS, AND WHAT IS THE IMMEASURABLE GREATNESS OF HIS POWER TOWARD US WHO BELIEVE.”

Ephesians 1:18-19a (ESV)

WORSHIP: JASON LOVINS BAND

Jason Lovins, leader and founder of The Jason Lovins Band, eclipses the word candid. He has turned his life’s beginnings into a stirring testimony, even though the negativity of it could have turned him towards seclusion, bitterness, or to be silent altogether. You see, Jason’s mother was raped when she was 15-years-old and Jason is the baby she carried full-term after the incident.

Jason was born into a Christian family where abortion is not an option, no matter what the circumstances. When it became evident that his mother, Lisa, was pregnant the first thing his grandma and mother did was go to church to pray about it. The answer was clear that this baby was to have life and to live it in glory to the Lord.
