Why This Year Is Different
FREEDOM CON: Rise of the Statesman is not just an event — it is a summoning. A gathering of men to celebrate America and think deeply and biblically about the critical role God has called us to fulfill as Statesmen.
Set within the backdrop of America’s 250th anniversary, this event will summon thousands of men to worship, repent, and receive a concrete, actionable playbook for rebuilding their homes, churches, counties, and state.
“With national voices, historic stories, and a distinctly Washington-flavored battle cry, FREEDOM CON will call men to stay, stand, and flip this state — not flee it — so their children and grandchildren can thrive in the land they love.”
Live at Freedom Con · Saturday Night · Main Stage
GRAMMY-nominated. 3 million records sold. 1.8 billion global streams. As the sun sets over the Columbia River behind The Gorge’s iconic stage, Crowder’s signature Southern rock will close out a perfect weekend with an unforgettable, high-energy concert.
Fathers & Sons
Two days of competition, worship, bold preaching, camping under the stars,
and the Columbia River at your doorstep. This is the Father’s Day trip
your son will be talking about for the rest of his life.
Bring your son. Bring your dad. Make this weekend a marker moment where your
family stands together and says: we will not run — we will rebuild.
