When someone is in the correctional system (in jail or prison), they may feel forgotten, rejected, even worthless or hopeless. Most of us don’t think about those who are incarcerated. But God doesn’t forget. He loves these precious people and wants to see their lives transformed. Through the Black Hawk County Jail Ministry and the Cedar Valley Church Prison Ministry we show love, give hope, and share the truth of God’s Word. At this session we will tell stories, take part in discussion, and answer questions about how God is working in this most critical area of our society. Learn how you can support and build these ministries!

Matt Moeckl believes that the number one problem that affects our world globally is the failure of fathers to follow through with their responsibilities. Matt’s desire to educate others on the topic and offer solutions has brought him all over the country and even internationally to inspire and educate others to advocate for the voiceless and defend the cause of the fatherless.

God has a unique role for each Christian in His global purpose of evangelizing the nations. Perspectives on the World Christian Movement isn’t a course solely about world missions, but a study program rooted in Scripture, clarifying each believer’s remarkable opportunity to join God in His global purpose. In Perspectives you will have your eyes opened to the heart of God and how you can take part in His work no matter where you are located, even from right here in the Cedar Valley. In this break-out session you will hear from Perspectives alumni from all walks of life who will challenge and inspire you from their personal experiences.

You’re in good company. Moses, Joseph, and even Jesus were in this position! We’ll look at their stories as well as examples from our own life and ministry. And we’ll share some steps that can help us start moving in the direction of obedience to God’s call.

The Cedar Valley has a very large population of immigrants, internationals, and refugees right here in our community. You can live out the Great Commandment and Great Commision simply by being a friend to them. Many come from countries closed to the gospel and yet, here in the US we have freedom to reach them. Come learn how you can be involved.

In spite of growing challenges, followers of Jesus continue to live incarnationally among some of the least-reached people on the planet in societies and countries hostile to outsiders and/or ravaged by war.
