Walk-Ins Welcome — Be Equipped for Such a Time as This
Written By David E. Smith   |   03.03.26

Don’t Miss Dr. George Barna, Pastor Ceasar LeFlore & Dr. Mark Zumhagen!

The Illinois Family Institute’s annual Worldview Conference on March 7th in Downers Grove will focus on equipping families to stand firm in a culture that is pulling teens and young adults away from the church by rebuilding a Biblical worldview, with featured speaker Dr. George Barna — one of America’s leading researchers on faith, culture, and worldview trends — alongside Rev. Ceasar LeFlore and Dr. Mark Zumhagen.

Walk-Ins Are Welcome!

Dr. Barna’s research shows that young people grounded in essential biblical truths are far more likely to remain committed to Christ. This conference is designed to equip parents and grandparents to understand what a biblical worldview is, why it matters, and how to intentionally cultivate it in yourselves and your family in everyday life — especially in a culture marked by confusion, digital distraction, deceptive philosophies, and a steady erosion of foundational Christian beliefs.
