FLORENCE, SC (WBTW) – Bishop Michael Blue, recent recipient of the Governor’s Economic Development Ambassador’s Award, will serve as host for CCFM Conference 2016, at The Florence Civic Center, June 22-25, now in its 16th year.
Christian Covenant Fellowship of Ministries, (CCFM) and The Door of Hope Christian Church of Marion have welcomed attendees to Florence from literally around the world over the past years, as they endeavor to be true to their theme of “Sustaining the (Culture) Shift.” Dr. John Maxwell will be live and in-person at The Florence Civic Center on June 25, for the CCFM Conference’s climactic session.
Dr. Maxwell, who is identified as the #1 leader in business by the American Management Association and the world’s most influential leadership expert by Business Insider and Inc. Magazine, will headline this year’s event. He has sold more than 25 million books. Dr. Maxwell also received the Mother Teresa Prize for Global Peace and Leadership from the Luminary Leadership Network and is credited with having trained more than six million leaders throughout every nation.
Bishop Blue states “Often when people hear of a conference sponsored by a particular organizational entity, they assume that the meeting is only for those associated with that organization – and in some cases that may be accurate. However, we want the Pee Dee Region, South Carolina, North Carolina and beyond to understand that the CCFM Conference is your conference.
Regardless of color, creed, or class, it is designed to positively connect with you and empower you for every area of life.” Other speakers include host and presiding bishop of CCFM, Bishop Michael A. Blue; international statesman from Harare, Zimbabwe-Africa, Bishop Tudor Bismark; and the founding bishop of one of the fastest growing denominations in America, Bishop Paul S. Morton Sr. Other plenary speakers include Bishop Melvin Lambert of Fayetteville, N.C. and Bishop Bobby Hilton of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Musical guests throughout the week include exciting gospel artists Anthony Brown & Group Therapy, Casey J., Brian Courtney Wilson, Travis Greene, and Wendi Wyatt. All sessions will be held at the Florence Civic Center, June 22-25.
The Youth Conference, The Kingdom is For Kids Too (K4K2), will be held at Marion High School June 7-9. Additional youth sessions will take place during the June 22-25 event as well. General sessions as well as seminars of the conference are free and open to the public, but registration is strongly encouraged.
There are also opportunities for sponsorship. For additional information, call (843) 423-0340, (843) 245-7034 or go to www.ccfmnation.org/conference-2016.
