An annual gathering, nineteen years running

Every year since 2007, the Christian Family Conference has brought together an interdenominational community of Telugu-speaking believers from across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. These conferences serve as a space for spiritual revival, sound teaching, and the kind of friendships that carry families through the rest of the year.

Each conference invites guest speakers — pastors, evangelists, and teachers from India and the diaspora — to lead sessions of preaching and worship over the course of the weekend. Families travel from various churches across the region to attend together, and the conference has become a place where individuals rededicate their faith and where the wider community renews its sense of belonging to one another.

Recordings of past conference messages and worship songs are available to revisit, and photo albums from many of the conference years are archived for the community to look back on.
