Our nation’s founding generation was defined by two enduring words: Faithful and Fearless. These were men and women of deep conviction who believed truth was worth defending at great cost. Today, that very same resolve is urgently needed in the public square, in our city councils, on our county boards, and in our state and federal legislatures.
We need faithful Christians who refuse to shrink back, who will not ignore the growing trend to call good evil and evil good, and who will confront the unchecked drive to empower the state while draining taxpayers.
Join us on Friday, October 9th, in Elk Grove Village for IFI’s Annual Banquet. Together, we will cast a bold vision for what lies ahead and equip one another to stand firm for the faith, families, and moral foundation that make our state and nation worth fighting for.
Each year, hundreds of believers gather to reconnect with old friends, build new alliances, and strengthen their resolve. This is far more than a dinner. It is an evening of vision, conviction, and fellowship with Illinois families, pastors, and grassroots leaders who refuse to sit on the sidelines while our culture drifts further and further away from God.
We are honored to welcome keynote speaker Seth Gruber, founder and CEO of The White Rose Resistance, a dynamic pro-life movement launched in 2022 to awaken the Church. Seth is the host of The Seth Gruber Show and the author behind The 1916 Project book and documentary film. As a young husband and father, Seth is uniquely equipped to challenge our thinking, expose the moral decay of our age, and rally us to remain uncompromisingly faithful and fearless in this cultural moment.
If you want to get a better sense of who Seth is, his sharp communication style, and his willingness to address difficult truths head-on, we encourage you to watch this video podcast episode where he and Larry Alex Tauton discuss “The Rise of Islam and the Collapse of the Secular West.”
This is a once-a-year gathering, and in a critical election year like this one, our calling carries even greater weight.
Do not wait. Secure your tickets or sponsor a table today, and stand with us for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in Illinois!
