1 in 5 people sitting in your church’s pews have been sexually assaulted…

The estimated number of sexual assault victims is staggering. Churches can no longer remain silent. The Respond Conference will equip ministry workers with a powerful, Jesus-exalting, redemptive response.

66% of sexual assault victims tell no one until they’re adults

Most victims suffer in silence and never receive any care. Those who do make outcries are often not believed, minimized, and silenced. When victims are believed they seldom receive the true hope that comes only through Jesus.

Sexual Assault Happens Everywhere

One of the most common misconceptions is that sexual assault only affects certain socioeconomic communities or specific cultures. Sexual assault plagues both the privileged and impoverished without regard to ethnicity.

what others are saying

  •  

    “Everyone is talking about sexual abuse – and we need to be. At The Respond Conference we will address victimization, healing, and prevention in light of the Gospel. People need the Church … The church needs information. We all need to Respond.”

     

    – Gregory Love, Attorney at Law

  • There is an epidemic of sexual assault and victims need the kind of hope and help that only the gospel of Jesus Christ can provide.

    Tragically, many churches are woefully unprepared to help assault victims.  This conference will prepare you to respond and care for those who need it most.

    - Justin Holcomb,
    Executive Director of The Resurgence

  • “Sexual abuse reveals the powerful heart and life damaging presence of sin. Why is this important? Because you and I will never understand and celebrate the magnitude of God’s healing and transforming grace until we understand the deep damage that sin does to the human heart.”

     

    - Paul Tripp, President of Paul Tripp Ministries

  •  

    “What a needed conference! So many victims of abuse continue to suffer silently in our churches. With such high stakes, pastors and church leaders cannot afford to stay uninformed and unequipped to confront abuse and it’s man consequences.”

     

    - Rick White, Lead Pastor of CityView Church
