PTP 2025: Early Bird Registration
PTP 2025 Early Bird Registration Will End Soon! Register now to receive a discount on each adult's tuition.
There is simply no way to describe the PTP experience to someone who has never attended.
You just have to be there—when thousands of people join in worship, it is indescribable—when a thousand preachers feast on the Word and share their expertise, it is unlike anything you have seen before—when elders share wisdom to solve complicated issues, you will be amazed—when 700 teens and youth get together, the excitement is palpable—when hundreds of women grow together spiritually, the joy is evident.
When 200+ speakers cover nearly 1,000 topics in 10-14 concurrent classes over the two events, your spiritual bucket will overflow and your heart will soar—when the constant challenge is deciding which class to attend because they all sound so interesting, you will know you are at PTP.
At the current registration rate, the Early-Bird price will end early in April. So register today to make sure you receive the discount!
