The 69th annual Skyland Bible Conference (June 28 - July 5, 2025) will be held at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) in Harrisonburg, VA.
Continuing the tradition of excellent Bible teaching, the speakers for the 2025 conference will be Steve Price, Bob Upton and Nate Bramsen. If you are looking for a spiritually enriching vacation, rather than mere entertainment, this is your best choice.
Skyland Bible Conference is one of the most unique family oriented Bible conferences you will ever experience. There are activities for all ages. From toddlers to teens to seniors, there is something for everyone.
At Skyland, you can be as active or relaxed as you want to be. Participate in athletic activities, off-site adventures or simply enjoy the fellowship with other believers around the beautiful campus.
Of course, one of the hallmarks of Skyland is the ministry of God’s Word from excellent speakers. The goal of the conference is to spiritually enrich the lives of everyone who attends.
Skyland is already one of the best family vacation values around.
