Why Registration?
Beginning this year, we are asking you to register for Missions Fest Seattle. Other mission conferences have done this for years. We are doing so because we need a better way to count the number of people attending the conference so that we might better serve the needs of the Body of Christ in Seattle and work together to further expand the Kingdom of God. Your name and email will remain with Missions Fest and not shared with any one else. Also, you will receive no more than one email per month except for the two months prior to the conference. Thank you for your assistance!

Also on Friday, from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm, there will be a seminar for pastors & mission leaders interested in more in-depth information related to missions. Registration is required and there is a cost to attend.
