Center for Christian Virtue, one of the nation’s premier Christian public policy organizations, is thrilled to present our second annual conference, the Essential Summit: Reviving the Roots—Restoring the American Family.

Today, many Christians believe the Bible doesn’t have anything to say about cultural and political issues. They’ve accepted the myth of the sacred-secular divide. Others feel isolated in their convictions and pressured into silence.

The Essential Summit brings together hundreds of believers from across the state and nation to discover how they can put their faith in action, whether they’re business leaders, pastors, educators, advocates, or simply Christians ready to take the next step.

Attendees are invited to join the annual statewide March for Life at the Ohio Statehouse on Friday, October 3.

Maven Conference: “Truth  + Courage”

A Worldview Conference for Students & Adults

 
Date: November 8, 2025
8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

 

For 2,000 years, the Christian faith has been met with resistance. Christians have been opposed, scorned, shunned, marginalized, mocked, persecuted, canceled and even killed. But throughout, faithful followers of Christ overcame. They stood courageously for the truth of the Christian faith…and Christianity changed the world. As a result, those of us who have followed in the 2,000-year history of the church have benefited from unprecedented freedoms and the Faith has flourished. 

However, the tide is turning. The culture is shifting. A host of worldview ideas opposed to the Christian faith and values are winning over hearts and minds. And our increasingly secular culture grows in its hostility to Christianity.

So what are Christians to do?
