The 2015 theme, "Altaer: Living Sacrifices. Transformed by Worship" will focus on answering the question, "What is worship?" in the midst of cultural "altars" of consumerism, athletics and social media - and how worship in any form molds a person's character. Keynote speaker author and theologian James K.A. Smith, will discuss topics of worship, including the power of habitual worship and its spiritual implications for Christians.<\p>

This year's theme is based on Romans 12:1-2: "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.:<\p>
