Introduction

This fall 2016 conference is the second hosted by CMI. The first is still available to visit at 2016.gowm.org. This conference, like the first, is designed for anyone interested in these three intertwining motifs: the Gospel, Outreach, and Media. By each we mean...

Gospel

How God rescued us and all the world from sin and eternal death through the redemptive work of His Son Jesus Christ.

Outreach

Taking this message beyond our circles of Christian believers out to the world of those who do not have saving faith in Christ.

Media

Using God's gifts of media and technology to carry this message to large audiences in the United States and around the world.
