Singles – at Scottsdale Plaza Resort

 
Why should we stay at those hotels?
We’ve negotiated a rate of $89/night and we are allowed up to 4 people per room. This is also where the Saturday Workshops will be held and within walking distance of the Dodge Theatre.
 
Why are the singles in a different facility?
This will be the 6th annual Singles Conference and last year had approximately 1500 in attendance. Their conference requires more the space of the Scottsdale facility. We are grateful that they will joining us for the main sessions on Friday Evening & Sunday morning. Their hotel is approx. 20 miles away from the Dodge Theater (4 blocks from married hotel).
 
Why should we go?
The conference will bring together thousands of disciples from the SW, inspiring and moving everyone there. This will also be an incredible time of fellowship for young families to have great times of fellowship (parents & children); this will also provide the unusual opportunity for the pre-teens, teens, & campus to build lasting relationships. In short, it will be spiritually fantastic!
 
Who else is coming?
Our sister churches from Colordo, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada , Southern California and Hawaii!
 
What will we be doing?
A schedule will be posted in advance. But basically, the Conference will include the following: Main combined sessions on Friday & Saturday Evenings and Sunday Morning; Workshops for the pre-teens, teens, campus and married men on Saturday from 9a-Noon; workshop for the married women on Saturday afternoon from 1p-4p. The married men will take their children to a water theme park on Saturday afternoon; the campus will also particpate in different water activity. There will be classes in English and Spanish.
 
What is there to do in the area?
Water parks, family Golf, Hiking, etc
 
What should I do with my small children?
Bring them! We envision this being a great time for the entire family to bond and deepen their relationships with others. During the main sessions, parents can cooperate with other parents to take care of each other’s children. The rest of the schedule is designed for parents to spend great time with their kids.
 
When will it end?
After service on Sunday.
 
What would be the cost for a family?
The most that a family would pay for registration is $100 (early registration). A family who only has children younger than preteens would pay a maximum of $75 (early registration). If the children can stay in the room with their parents, then the room cost would only be $178 + tax. The only other costs would be for food and the extracurricular activities such as the one on Saturday afternoon.
