Our daytime speaker for General Conference is Rev. Steve DeNeff. Steve currently serves as Senior Pastor of College Wesleyan Church in Marion, IN. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degree from Indiana Wesleyan University and received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in April 2003. He has written several books, including More Than Forgiveness, The Way of Holiness and Saving Graces. In his free time, he enjoys running, reading, and spending time with his wife, Lori.

General Conference is where ministry meets marketplace. It's your opportunity to put your products and resources directly in front of the church leaders and decision-makers who need them most — from senior pastors and Christian Education directors to Sunday school workers, evangelists, missionaries, students, and families. If you're looking to make meaningful connections and grow your reach within the IPHC, there's no better place to be.
