Contend
The Word. The Church. The Mission.
Contend exists to see lives transformed through the faithful preaching of God’s Word. Each year, believers gather in Daytona Beach to hear trusted teachers open the Scriptures, to grow in sound doctrine, and to be renewed in the truth that sanctifies.
The conference isn’t another event on the calendar, but a call to strengthen the local body of Christ. From the school teacher to the small business owner, from students to retirees, Contend is designed for everyday Christians hungry to know and live out the gospel.
Why Attend
Because There's Strength In Numbers
You can stream sermons anywhere. But when God’s people gather face-to-face — to worship, to learn, to pray, and to stand firm in the faith together, as Paul said, there is an intimate and powerful mutual edification.
Contend isn’t about one church, one personality, or one platform. It’s about believers across Daytona and beyond coming together to be renewed by the truth, united in fellowship, and sent back into their communities for gospel impact.
Between sessions, enjoy fellowship, meaningful conversations, and the beauty of God’s creation right here on the shores of Daytona Beach. Who doesn’t love the beach and fellowship?
Who We Are
Contend Ministries was founded by a group of pastors and leaders who share one conviction — that the Word of God alone brings true renewal to the Church.
Our heart is for Daytona Beach and beyond — to see local churches strengthened, believers equipped, and the gospel advanced through sound teaching and unified fellowship.
We strive to:
-
Preach the Word faithfully
-
Unite believers and churches around sound doctrine
-
Send the body of Christ into the world to proclaim the gospel
This ministry is not owned by one church or one person — it’s a collaborative effort to build something bigger than ourselves: a movement of truth, unity, and mission.
Get Equipped. Get Connected.
In God’s house, it isn’t just a weekend; it’s a call to live boldly for Christ in everyday life.
We encourage you to stay grounded, keep growing, and get connected through these trusted resources.
