We’re excited to welcome you to Winter Thaw 2026: Kingdom Seekers!
Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Spoken by Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount, this verse is both a command and a promise: when we seek God first, He will provide.
But what does it actually mean to seek God and His kingdom in today’s world and culture?
Throughout this weekend, our hope is that you’ll encounter meaningful teaching, engaging discussions, and time for reflection—opportunities to consider what it looks like to make Christ’s mission not just a part of your life, but the first priority in your life.
Let’s pursue His kingdom—together.
