This year's Association of Nazarene Sociologists and Researchers (ANSR) Conference, to be held May 19 through 21 at MidAmerica Nazarene University, will focus on "Millennials and the Church."

The free conference is designed for denominational leaders and aims to provide attendees with an innovative resource for ministry. Held annually, the conference brings together trending sociological research and speaker-leaders from across the Church of the Nazarene. The conference begins Thursday evening and ends following breakfast on Saturday, allowing attendees time to return home for Sunday services.

The keynote speaker for this year’s conference is Richard Flory, who directs the Religion, Culture and Politics Working Group at the University of Southern California. Flory is also the author, co-author, and editor of several books.

"We’re looking forward to spending time with you at this year’s conference, which is being held on the beautiful MidAmerica Nazarene University campus and hosted by the Sullivan Center for Church Leadership," said Dale Jones, director of Nazarene Research Services. "Together we’ll enjoy gifted speakers, significant research, amazing food, and meaningful fellowship — including a presentation game night event."

While the conference itself is free, on-campus meals and rooms are available for a fee.
