The Courage-EnCourage Conference

Our Annual Family Reunion!

Every year since 1989, the Courage-EnCourage family has gathered together annually at different venues to pray together, listen to inspiring presentations and testimonies, and enjoy a wonderful time of joyful fellowship to strengthen the bonds of true Christian friendship!

Our Annual Conference brings together Courage and EnCourage members and Chaplains from around the world. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for new members and Chaplains to be welcomed into our long-established and ever-growing community of over 45 years! (Read more about the history of Courage here.)
