A Ministry of Doxa Church
 
 

The Salt Company Conference is a yearly gathering of college students from university campuses across the country. Each year, we gather in Des Moines to reconnect as a family, to worship Jesus together, and to capture a vision for what God will do next as new churches in The Salt Network are launched. This year’s conference is from Jan 3-5.
