The Church: In the Image of God

What would the church look like if it was in the image of God? Dr. Gerardo Oudri will be answering that question at our annual Leadership Retreat, held April 4 - 6, 2025! Topics include mission and discipleship as well as developing a personal growth plan. Currently serving as an associate ministerial director for the North American Division, Dr. Oudri will be sharing relevant, practical information, gleaned through years of research and personal experience. Prepare to be challenged and encouraged by his presentations and blessed through the ministry of our featured musical guest, Pastor Glenn Lewis. On Sabbath, we will also enjoy break-out sessions led by several KYTN pastors.
