About the National
Sword Conference

The National Sword Conference stands as one of the greatest opportunities of the year for God’s people. The foundation of this conference has never changed. It is scripturally sound, solidly fundamental and unapologetically conservative. We make the Bible central in every service because the needs of our churches and our nation demand nothing less.

From the beginning, we have designed the conference for the entire family. Pastors, laymen, church workers, families, teens and children all find something here that strengthens and encourages them. Each morning and afternoon includes workshops that speak to practical ministry needs. The National Sword Youth Conference runs alongside the afternoon sessions, where teens enjoy activities, prizes, food, and preaching tailored to their stage of life.

Beyond the preaching and music, the conference also provides a place for Christian fellowship and connecting with like-minded organizations. The Exhibitor Hall hosts colleges, ministries and Christian businesses from across the country.

The doors of the National Sword Conference are open to all. There are no registration fees; every seat is free. We gather because we believe God still works in the lives of His people and in the life of a nation that will hear His Word. Year after year, the Lord blesses in ways that remind us why this conference matters. It stands as a rally point for Christians who want to build strong homes and strong churches and who want to see our country turn toward God.

Come join us!
