What time does the conference start?
The doors open for sign-in at 5:30 pm on Friday. The first session begins at 7:00 pm.

What time does the conference end?
We will dismiss at approximately 11:30 AM on Sunday. Sunday lunch is not included in the conference.

Where do I go when I get to Watson Homestead?
Follow the signs to the Dining Hall where there will be a registration table. We'll check you in there, give you your room assignment and a conference notebook.

What do I need to bring?
Bring your Bible, a pen, a toiletry kit and an open heart in which God can work. The conference center provides towels, linens and blankets.

What type of clothes should I bring?
Dress is relaxed and casual for the entire weekend. Bring warm clothing if you wish to do any outside activities. You may need to walk outside to get to some of the sessions or activities.

I sent in my deposit, but I've not heard or received anything yet?
You should receive an acknowledgment by e-mail or postcard within two weeks of sending in your registration. We will be mailing out conference information packets mid-February when the conference gets closer.

When will the remainder of the balance be due?
The balance for your registration will be due in February. We wanted to make it as easy for you to come up with the money to come and we realize that right before Christmas may be tough. You can mail the balance to us or phone in a credit card payment. You can even bring the balance the Friday night of the conference. If possible, exact change or a check or credit card will help.

Will there be others there my age? I don't want to be the only (__young, __middle-aged, __senior) there.
Every year there has been a nice mix of ages representing all the decades. (i.e. 20's, 30's, 40's and so on through the 60's.)

Will there be anyone else who doesn't know anybody there? I think it would be good for me but I guess I'm a little nervous about a weekend with strangers.
The conference is a great place to go and meet new people. Many participants bravely come not knowing a soul and make wonderful new friends of both genders.
