“David Atchison is committed to spreading the vision of discipleship given to us by Christ and expounded upon by the apostles. He serves other churches with an integrity that comes from practicing what he preaches as a faithful disciple and mentor of others in our church.”

Shaping the Next Generation (Parenting/Birth to 12)

Media supported instruction is followed by interactive action projects which propel parents toward more purposeful parenting. May include pathfinding with church and ministry leadership teams desiring to develop an ongoing ministry to parents.

“Through their humor and conversational style, David and Elaine created an atmosphere of openness and honesty. When you combine their parenting experience and the scripture as authority, you certainly have the makings for a successful conference. Shaping The Next Generation was exciting and dynamic, and ministered to the people in our church as well as our community.”

Journey Toward Intimacy (Marriage/Engagement)

“The combination of laughter and fun as well as meaty material was excellent ... Truly the conference was one of the greatest times as a church body I’ve had and one I hope we can repeat in the years to come.”

Men's Conferences and Retreats
Whatever the topic or theme, David will challenge men to pursue a deeper relationship with Christ and a life focused on investing their lives in others.

“David speaks with the passion of a prophet, yet with an authentic blend of grace, humor, and personal vulnerability. David is one of those few to whom God has endowed the special ability to unlock the well-fortified, wounded, callused hearts of men today. I’ve seen one man after another come to his conference ambivalent to living a fully devoted life for Christ, yet leave not only with their hope restored, but with the spiritual toolbox necessary to make it a reality.”

Leadership Conferences and Retreats
Presents principles and applications for biblical leadership. The stewardship. The possibilities. The precautions. This material is appropriate for gatherings from breakfast Bible studies to staff retreats, educational forums or corporate management workshops.
