Things to Come Conference
Join us for our “Things to Come” Conference for a time of clarity, confidence, and hope!
January 30 – Feb 1, 2026
This event is open to anyone who would like to gain a deeper understanding of God’s Word. Don’t miss out!
Here’s the good news: God is not silent. In fact, nearly one-third of the Bible—over 8,000 verses—is prophetic, speaking directly to moments like ours. God has a plan. And it’s not panic—it’s purpose.
At the Things to Come Conference, we’ll explore what Scripture says about the future of the world, the rapture, God’s storyline for the last days, and the role we’re called to play in it.
This isn’t a weekend of fear, confusion, or speculation.
It’s a weekend of clarity, confidence, and hope.
Whether you’re anxious about what’s ahead or simply hungry for a deeper understanding of what God’s Word says about the last days, this conference is for you.
Come discover:
- What the Bible really says about the times we’re living in.
- How God is working behind the scenes—right now.
- What can we expect regarding the return of Jesus?
- What is the storyline of the last days according to Scripture?.
- Why the future isn’t something to fear, but something we can prepare for.
Discover Hope. Embrace Truth. Live Ready.

About the speaker…
Our guest speaker for this conference is Pastor Ray Duerkson from Southland church in Steinbach, Manitoba.
Ray and his wife Fran were married in 1973 and began their journey in Calgary, where Ray trained as a commercial pilot. A few years into that career, Ray felt a clear call from God to pastoral ministry. After earning a Bachelor of Theology, they planted a church in Woodstock, Ontario, pastoring there for eight years before returning to Steinbach, Manitoba.
In 1996, Ray completed his Master of Divinity and became Lead Pastor of Southland Church. Over the next 22 years, the church grew from 150 to 4,500 attendees, fueled by a return to biblical practices that foster renewal and revival.
In 2012, Ray founded Church Renewal International, a ministry mentoring pastors around the world. What started with two pastors has grown to over 3,000 leaders in 68 countries. After 30 years in pastoral ministry, Ray stepped down to focus fully on this global movement.
Ray is recognized for his ability to convey profound spiritual truths in clear, practical terms that draw people closer to Jesus. He will be equipping us to understand God’s plan for the last days and eternity. You won’t want to miss this weekend.
He and Fran have been married for 52 years. They have four married children, 18 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
