About this event

Live Music Community Arts & Culture

Conferences and art have something in common: they can both be very erudite, lofty, and disconnected from everyday experiences. It is our goal to push against that tendency. We would like to take the important intellectual and theological foundation to making of any kind and help you put it into practice in your lives in ways that serve you and your communities. With keynote speakers, Esther Lightcap Meek and Andy Squyres, we hope to help you activate your own call to make, because your community needs your art! ACTIVATE will give you more time in smaller groups with local artist-presenters, applying what we hear and learn together and dreaming of what might be on the horizon. Registration is open NOW at the link below! Cost: $150 per person. Student rate: $40 (email cfraser@firstpresgreenville.org for the discount code) Schedule: Thursday evening: concert with Andy Squyres and post-concert mixer, hors d’oeuvres Friday: keynote with Esther Meek, breakouts, and closing worship time, on-site breakfast and lunch included Saturday: optional field trips
