I thought the conference went off without a hitch! It really was fabulous. Registration was super easy. LOVED the speakers! Definitely an Allstar team, so much love, experience, passion. I got to hear all of the main speakers plus Doug Jacoby, Jeff Chacon, and Chuck Lorbeer's classes. I had a great time at the Celebration, dressing up for the decades was a blast! My only criticism is that I would have enjoyed less competition and more just dancing. LOVED the Latin music at the end too.
This really was one of the best conferences I have been to. Not because I heard anything new in the preaching or the lessons. And they were all great by the way. But because of the way that it all brought Jesus to life. We really ought as disciples to live our lives centered around Jesus. I also think that the fact that John Reus has been teaching us for the past few month to stay in the upper room with Jesus, it has allowed me to really see what it is like to be a true follower of the way. I am so grateful for all the hard work that was put in this conference. For all the people who gave so many hours to make sure that everything was the best.
Very grateful for the kids program Saturday morning. It seemed very organized and well-done! Leadership portion was very refreshing.
We had an amazing time at FDC. From the lessons, the schedules, the Decade dance, the brochures, to registration.. everything went smoothly - even the bags and notebooks that we received upon arrival. Thank you for planning this event. It is always very encouraging to be around the body of Christ.
Hello there, I wanted to encourage you that the conference was a great experience for me. I was encouraged to have gone for my 3x. :) The speakers were dynamic and very inspiring to me. The organization of signing up online was good. The speed on putting the conference online…nice. The venue was a good one - a bit confusing at first, probably due to the resort being a different location.
FDC 2011 Portraits of Jesus was an extraordinary event! I loved all the keynote speakers. Their messages were meaningful and a great reminder to why we said, "Jesus is Lord". I loved the way all of the classes were tied into Jesus' message regarding the topic the presenters spoke on. The only unfortunate thing is that I was not able to attend every class. I will definitely go back and listen to the ones I missed. My daughter enjoyed the 8th grade classes and events too. I have been a disciple since October 1993 and have not been to a more organized themed conference as this one. From the give-aways and book table to the low cost convenient breakfast and lunch, you guys really, really did it right! I send a sincere thanks to all of the planners, presenters and people necessary to make this an enjoyable event for the Jacksonville Church, myself and my 12 year old. We are all still talking about it and sharing what we learned in our classes to this date.
Thank you so much for hosting all of us! You guys did a GREAT job with planning this year. We here in Jacksonville had a GREAT time and are planning to use some of the new songs in our worship in the upcoming months!
I personally love to worship and praise our LORD. I'm a dancer and I love to move while I worship! I think you all did a GREAT job with mixing in songs for more lively like me and some who are more (for lack of better words), "old school." Thank you for all the time and effort you put into it.
I had a great time. The resort was awesome, with an incredible pool for kids. The registration process and classes were all great.
The conference was very encouraging and the class topics that were practical. Loved the location.
Great! I needed this so much! The speakers were good! Very clear in there presentations! Love it! Thank You so Much!
Best conference since CSA 2002! The messages were powerful and deep and the fellowship was FANTASTIC! Doug Arthur, Jeff Chacon and Jeff Hickman were my favorite messages and the music and special presentations were inspiring. Thank you all for all your hard work and dedication.
I just wanted to let you know how much I learned and enjoyed myself at the conference. The theme was refreshing to just get back to why I really became a christian. The lessons was amazing and I'm so glad you have put them online too so when I go back to Colombia, I can listen to the lessons again and even heard the ones I didn't get too. I loved serving too. I got to work with sisters and brothers. I really miss that in Santa Marta Colombia. And the friendships, what a great time of renew old ones and making new ones was so great. Thanks again for having the conference and look forward to the next one.
