AbideCR: The Un-Conference for Believers
Featuring Aaron Williams and The Worship Initiative
Catering provided by Feedwell Kitchen & Bakery, The Hip-stir, and Crumbl Cookies

AbideCR is an intentional, set-aside time to slow our pace and enjoy God’s loving presence. Unhurried worship. Encouragement from God’s word. Fellowship with the family of God. Rest with Jesus.

Musicians and Guest Speakers
The AbideCR Conference offers dedicated time to experience God here in Cedar Rapids. Aaron Williams and The Worship Initiative from Dallas, Texas, will lead worship at the AbideCR Conference on Friday & Saturday nights. Worship leaders from churches around the city have also banded together to lead worship in what we’re calling the AbideCR Worship Collective. Cedar Rapids-area pastors have prepared special messages to help people find rest in Jesus. In a unique experiential breakout session, you’ll explore ways to encounter the presence and peace of God, "choose your own adventure" style.

A call to holiness
We long to see the Body of Christ in our region encounter the Living God. To rest under the sound teaching of His Word, and to respond in quiet and in worship. AbideCR creates a space to practice this spiritual discipline together and to equip believers to continue to practice it in private.

A call to unity
One Body. One Spirit. One Lord. One Christ. We believe it is imperative that The Church pursues unity instead of competition. We unite in our desire to see the glory of the gospel's impact in our community, so pastors, worship leaders, and believers from around our city and region are coming together to worship.

The Abide Room
During the conference, you may want to just be in the presence of God to process, pray, journal, meditate in His Word, or rest. The Abide Room is a place designed exactly for that, offering low lighting, soft music, and visual artists quietly creating work as the Holy Spirit leads. The Abide Room provides a safe, welcoming place in which you can seek His spirit in a way that feels comfortable to you.

Food & Beverage Catering
AbideCR has partnered with Feedwell Kitchen & Bakery in Cedar Rapids, The Hip-stir in Marion, Iowa, and Crumbl Cookies in Cedar Rapids for all conference meals, which are included in your ticket price.
