Experience a New Kind of Conference: One Built around the Family and Faith.

January 20 & 21, 2026 in Orlando, Florida

Hosted by: HOPE Recovery Ministries, Int., the Independent Baptist Association of Biblical Counselors, and Naples Independent Baptist Church

As the world gets darker families are under attack. The Biblical model of the home has been vilified and many have abandoned God’s intended roll for them in the family. Families need a revival of obedience to God’s word.

Family Faith Summit is designed to help pastors and churches build strong families in two important ways:

First, this conference centers around sound Bible preaching and teaching on the family. And second, meeting in the Orlando, Florida area gives families an opportunity to reconnect and build bonds as they enjoy rest and recreation.

The Light of God’s Word only shines the more brightly in a darkened world. Fathers, mothers, teens and toddlers all need to be equipped and ready! Grandparents and singles too! Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Special Speaker: Dr. Rick Carter, Jr

Preconference - Tuesday, January 20th, 2026

All preconference sessions are free of charge for any family in ministry! The ministry is a unique place to raise a family. There are many trials and hardships that you encounter because of the nature of the ministry but there are also many blessings that abound in ministry. Often, we see what we are looking for. In this session Dr. Rick Carter Jr. will be sharing with you how to set a view for your family that sees the adventure of ministry and avoids the pitfalls that can lead to bitterness and resentment.
