Living in the Light Conference 2024

Living a life of faith, one inextricably bound to Jesus, requires the hope that only comes through the death and resurrection of Jesus and the fellowship of other believers who encourage us along the way.

Living in the Light is a two-day, in-person event full of fellowship, learning, food, and fun at 128 Chancellor Street and around the Charlottesville area. Living in the Light provides an opportunity for parents, alumni, and friends to experience the faith and fellowship offered through our ministry.

Study Center Executive Director Bill Wilder led our scripture study, discussing the theological significance of marriage . We learned that just as humans were created in the image of God, marriage was created in the image of God’s relationship with his people, so there is an inward and outward dimension in our human marriages and in our union with Christ.

UVA Professor Brad Wilcox presented our keynote address, leading us in conversation about marriage. Brad’s latest book, Get Married,  discusses the findings of his sociological research on marriage as a predictor of happiness, tackling the myths propagated by anti-family messaging.
