WHAT IS THE NON-CON?
*An intentionally small gathering of 100 people who are curious about living out their faith outside their comfort zone.
*A dialog-driven, interactive discussion with front-line practitioners of Justice and Mercy.
*Shared meals.
*Simple worship with one guitar in the center of our circle.
*Time for Artistic expression and interaction.
WHY "Non-Con"?
*The aim is to create something unlike any previous conference experience. We want this to be small, hype-free, intentional and interactive where everyone who attends is free to speak, to minister and to become involved with our leaders, and others.
**Registration will be limited to the first 100 people at $40 each (includes shared meals).
*Watch this website for further updates, or subscribe to the free, weekly e-newsletter [Subversive Underground] for regular updates).

COMING SOON..."NON-CON"
This website will serve to provide updates on the "Non-Con".
What is the "Non-Con"?
It's a conference for people who never want to attend another conference again.
More conversation than conference. An interactive dialog with practitioners of compassion, missionaries to the culture, and street-level agents of change.
No hype. No large crowds. No loud worship bands. No monotonous keynote addresses.
Corporate worship. Intense dialog. Ministry to one another. Challenges to your faith. A common meal. A chance to serve others. A trip outside your comfort zone.
The Non-Con is coming.
Only 100 seats are available.
Details coming soon....
