"Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."  Matthew 7:13–14 (ESV, italics added)

Join us for The Way of Life—a life ministry convocation at the DoubleTree in downtown Saint Paul, Minn. Building on previous convocations, Speaking Up for Life in Minnesota (2024) and Moving from Death to Life (2025), this event calls together people for teaching and witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, pertaining to critical moral issues facing the Christian Church in America. Attendees will be formed into faithful messengers and equipped to become active participants in God's mission which defies death and brings life to the world.
