Creation Celebration 2020

With the COVID-19 crisis putting a stop to all our live events, we at Core Academy decided to cancel our annual banquet, but fear not!  All is not lost.  After my generally positive experience with two online conferences this summer, we also decided to host our first virtual conference online.  We've announced it already in our newsletter and on our social media, and you can find the website (and tickets) by clicking here.

The format will be a little different from the usual creation conference.  My goal is to focus on attention on the Creator through the creation.  Creation Celebration will have a special focus on worship, including music and special devotionals.  If you've read The Quest, you already know what you might expect from the devotionals.

The second main ingredient will be short video presentations from a lot of people.  Some will focus on questions about creation's history and origin.  We'll be exploring intelligent design, the Flood, the fossil record, and so forth.  Others will focus on personal testimonies in order to highlight special areas where we can pray for creationists around the world.  Confirmed speakers include Tim Standish of Geoscience Research Institute, Andrew Snelling of Answers in Genesis, and Paul Garner of Biblical Creation Trust.  We're still recruiting speakers, and we'll continue updating the website with new names as we get them confirmed.

The final component of Creation Celebration will be panel discussions.  These will be a mix of Q&A and actual conversation between experts.  This will be an opportunity to listen in to candid thoughts from some of the keenest minds in creation research.  These will be streamed live, and they'll be the longest parts of the conference.

The best part of all is that all of the work for this is being donated by the speakers to benefit the Sanders Scholarship Fund.  The Sanders Fund sponsors student mentoring in creation scholarship.  If you want to invest in the next generation of creation research, giving to the Sanders Fund is an excellent way to do that.  Visit our website to learn more.  If you're an undgraduate or graduate student, we are currently taking applications for the 2021 Sanders Scholarships, and you can find application information at the website.  All proceeds from the conference will go directly to the Sanders Scholarship Fund.

Creation Celebration is going to be a lot of fun, and I hope to "see you there" (so to speak).  Get your tickets at the Creation Celebration website.
