LOCATION
LOCATION
This year’s Marriage Conference will be held again at Heights Community Church in Collinsville, IL. Coffee and water will be made available with snacks provided. Sanctuary will be set up in a tables and chairs configuration instead of the chairs being placed in rows.
HOTELS
With the event being held in Collinsville, the demand for hotel rooms has been very low for the past 2 years. Instead of HCC setting up a block of rooms, we are leaving the decision for which hotel you'd like to stay at up to you!
***We still strongly encourage couples to stay at a hotel to avoid the temptation to tackle chores when returning home, create space for intimate conversation with your spouse, and time to connect.
