Who is the Family
Conference for?
This conference is for anyone who desires to have a Christ-centred home and create godly relationships among family members. It's not just for those with young children or teenagers but for grandparents, singles, couples without children, and couples with adult children!
Speaker: Chris Hamilton
Chris is married to Ann, and they have three daughters and seven grandchildren. They attend Grace Community Church, where they serve together in a singles ministry during the week, nursery on Sundays, and Chris serves as an elder. Chris is the president of an accounting and asset management firm. His work time is almost exclusively devoted to forensic accounting and litigation consulting.
He recognized his sin and need for salvation through the work of Jesus Christ when he was in 3rd grade after hearing a sermon about sin and hell. Since then, he continues to marvel in the knowledge that God saved him and the resulting blessing and joy of abiding in Christ. His favorite chapter in the Bible is Isaiah 40, and the motivation in ministry is that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God, and He is building His church, and the gates of Hell will never overpower it (Matthew 16:15-18).
