12 - 7 PM | REGISTRATION

Stop by the registration table in the main hall to pick up your badge, conference materials, and everything you’ll need for the week ahead. If this is your first time at Vineyard Columbus, take a little time to explore the space and settle in before things begin.

1 - 4 PM | PRE-CONFERENCES

So often when we go to a session or breakout, it feels like the speaker is just getting into their talk when the time is up, and there’s so much more you want from the session. With a pre-conference, you get to settle in and really engage with the content. We can’t promise you won’t leave wanting more, but these extended blocks are a good place to start. Registration for pre-conferences is easy. Simply add a pre-conference ticket when you purchase your conference registration. If you’ve already registered, log in and purchase an additional pre-conference ticket from the registration page!

5 - 6 PM | WELCOME DINNER

Hebrews 12:1–3

By Saturday, many people feel emotionally full in the best way. Make space to reflect, pray, exchange contact info, and say meaningful goodbyes before heading home.

These workshops create space for deeper learning, conversation, and practical reflection as we seek to follow Jesus faithfully together.

Breakout sessions are an important part of the Revoice conference experience. This year, they are organized around three streams that reflect the full arc of Christian discipleship. While each session may touch on multiple areas, these categories help participants explore the many ways faith takes shape in our lives.

FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH
Workshops that ground LGBTQ+/SSA believers in Scripture and theology—clarifying what we believe about God, the gospel, and faithful Christian discipleship. These sessions help build a durable framework for faith and Christian witness.

FLOURISHING IN FAITH
Workshops focused on the lived reality of following Christ as an LGBTQ+/SSA Christian. These sessions explore spiritual formation, resilience, community, and faithful presence amid real-world challenges.

KINGDOM BUILDING BY FAITH
Workshops that equip participants to serve the church and the world with wisdom and courage. These sessions focus on mission, vocation, spiritual gifts, and servant leadership.
