In the spirit of strengthening our community, members of the faith community are invited to join us along with a diverse group of leaders and professionals, representing all faiths and a variety of lived experiences, to further grow and learn together. Our hope is to convene passionate individuals with a desire to receive training, tools and resources to better support themselves, their families and their communities of faith to participate in the Health, Help, Healing and Hope: Bridging Our Temples faith series.
Upcoming Events
2024 ADAMH Faith Conference
Thursday, May 2, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Residence Inn by Marriott (3100 Olentangy River Road, Columbus, OH 43202)
This event has reached capacity, and registration is now closed.
Columbus and Franklin County faith leaders are invited to join ADAMH for a free day-long learning experience designed to educate, inform and support faith leaders on topics centered around behavioral, mental and physical health. This event is free, but space is limited.
This year’s conference will feature Pastor Julius Lancaster, Lead Pastor of All Nations Worship Assembly of Columbus, as the keynote speaker. There will also be a panel discussion comprised of a local physician, pharmacist and therapist. These practitioners will speak directly to the needs of faith leaders.
Meet the keynote speaker:
Pastor Julius Lancaster is the Lead Pastor of All Nations Worship Assembly of Columbus, which he planted in 2018. Since then, Pastor Julius has been presented with the opportunity to build relationships with a number of people, while gaining experience and information concerning the great opportunity between communities of faith and the field of mental health. With that experience, Pastor Julius has gained what he believes to be a healthy perspective and approach to the importance of properly addressing mental health, and the significance of a healthy partnership between faith communities and mental health professionals. Pastor Julius has developed partnerships with mental health agencies, and curated opportunities for congregants to receive the mental health therapy they both need and deserve.
