The Alabama Preschool and Children’s Ministry Organization (APCMO) will have its annual retreat in Orange Beach, Alabama, Feb. 27–March 1, 2019. The theme is “Give Them Jesus.”
The keynote speaker is Dillon T. Thornton, who has nearly two decades of diverse ministry experience. He has shepherded churches in Alabama, Colorado and New Zealand. Presently, he serves as the senior pastor of Faith Community Church in Seminole, Florida. In his writing, preaching, teaching and other aspects of pastoral work, Thornton seeks to equip people of all ages to love Christ with their whole hearts, think about the world and everything in it through the lens of Christ, and to live faithfully by displaying the beautiful truth of the gospel in every sphere of life. Dillon is the author of the recently published “Give Them Jesus, Raising Our Children on the Core Truths of the Christian Faith.”
Featured presenter will be Scott Humston, who overcame a speech-related birth defect to become a full-time illusionist, speaker and evangelist. Humston has devoted the past 25 years to the art of educating through entertainment. He has performed coast-to-coast and abroad, including three shows at the White House.
Worship will be led by Kelly and Sandy Stephenson, who serve on the staff of Double Oak Community Church.
