We’re thrilled to be joined by main stage speakers who will guide us through a shared journey across the book of Hebrews.
This year’s conference follows a core arc rooted in Hebrews 10–12, tracing what it means to be:
Formed by Faith. Sustained by Faith. Witnessing by Faith.
Together, these sessions will move through themes of grace, perseverance, belonging, and embodied faith—anchored in Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. Each speaker will help us engage this journey from a different angle, drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and the life of the Church.

Musical worship has been a central part of every Revoice Conference. Each year, we gather not only to learn and reflect, but to lift our voices together in prayer, song, and gratitude to God.
For many in our community, this becomes a rare and meaningful space—an opportunity to worship alongside others without feeling the need to explain, defend, or prove themselves. It is often described as one of the most intimate and powerful moments of the conference, where the presence of God is experienced in a uniquely shared way. Even for allies, this space offers a glimpse into the depth, honesty, and beauty of worship within this community.
This year, we are excited to have Allison Eding lead us in musical worship. Many will already recognize Allison from the Revoice stage, where she has faithfully served on our worship team in past years. We are grateful for her leadership and look forward to the way she will guide us as we worship together throughout the conference.
Allison Eding recently completed her Master of Divinity at Western Theological Seminary. She is passionate about building relationships and creating spaces where people can encounter God and grow in discipleship. We are grateful for the gifts she brings to this gathering and look forward to worshiping together under her leadership this summer.
