The church’s worship shapes the worshipping community as participant in God’s salvation drama. This is also the intent of worship in the Convocation.  Rather than an add-on, worship frames the conference experience. It flows naturally into and from the times of Bible study, discussion, and presentations. The Convocation community offers praise and intercession that shapes their lives and learning, and also rises out of their shared learning experience.

Doug and Shannon Roysden live in Abilene, TX, where they pastor Wylie Christian Church.
