In Heavenly Places
An Exploration of Ephesians
Once a year, 1,000 followers of Jesus gather in Oregon to study one book or theme of the Bible together.
This year: Ephesians.
WHAT IS CONVOCATION
Convocation is Light Bearers' annual four-day gathering for deep Bible study, worship, prayer, and fellowship. Every session centers on a single theme or book of Scripture. Think of it as a Christian retreat for those who want to spend focused time in God's Word together as a community.
Check out last year's recap:
THIS YEAR
We are studying Ephesians — Paul's letter, written from a prison cell, about who you already are in Christ before you do anything to earn it.
THE TEACHERS
WHAT TO EXPECT
Thirteen sessions with one unified arc through Ephesians — from "chosen before the foundation of the world" to "put on the full armor of God."
- Morning devotions.
- Evening gatherings (we call them Afterglows)
- Kids and youth programming for every age — 1 through 17
Everyone arrives together. Everyone comes home different.
THE LOCATION
Laurelwood Campus spans 40 beautiful acres along the Willamette River in Jasper, Oregon — an environment that feels open, peaceful, and restorative.
On-site camping, RV spots, and dorm rooms are available. Nearby hotel options available for those who prefer off-site lodging.

WHO THIS IS FOR
- Believers who are hungry for depth.
- People who want to study Scripture seriously with a community that takes it just as seriously.
- Families looking for a meaningful shared experience.
- Anyone who has been doing faith alone and suspects it was not supposed to feel this isolated.
You do not have to have it together to come. Most people who show up don't. That is exactly the point.
See who else is coming and ask questions on our Facebook Event page.
