2026 Theme: LIVING EPISTLES

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all people, revealing yourselves that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

2 Corinthians 3:1-3

The Holy Spirit is at work to draw men to the Father through the finished work of the Son. Every Believer also serves in this work. In addition to proclaiming the Gospel, we are tasked to live in our time as salt, light, and even letters that testify of the abounding mercy and grace of God to redeem mankind. In 2026, the Culture Proof Conference will practically equip Christian families to fulfill our non-negotiable call to reflect the work of the Holy Spirit on human hearts. This destination conference, at the breath-taking Ark Encounter and Creation Museum will fortify believers with the teaching and tools we need to live as epistles of Christ.
CP26 registration includes entrance to both attractions across three days, ten powerful keynotes, and a breakout session for kids, teens, men and women. Our aim is the intentional equipping of Christ-followers across generations. Because this is a destination conference, we’ve introduced a pay-as-you-go option. We hope this makes this vacation event more accessible to families. Make your plans and give people in your life the gift of an experience that will impact them for eternity!
