2020 had an amazing line-up of speakers.
We were blessed to have these warriors bringing God's Word over the Kinship Conference weekend.
​FRIDAY NIGHT
Wilauna "Launa" Usselman
Certified cat-mom and honorary “momma” to many youth and young adults throughout the years, Launa is no stranger to teaching and mentoring the next generation (and her own).  She is a seasoned speaker and, as the founder of Kinship, is extra excited to be bringing God’s Word to the young adults at Kinship.

SATURDAY MORNING
Margaret Graham
Margaret has been a powerful speaker and worship leader for almost 30 years.  She has been involved with church planting and worship leading alongside the pastoral work of her husband, Richard.  Mentorship and equipping are cornerstones of her ministry and speaking at Kinship is another step on this journey.  We are also excited to have Margaret's team, Grace Revolution Band, leading worship for the weekend!

SATURDAY EVENING
Alison Springer​
 Alison is a professional youth speaker and founder of Young Women of Power (YWOP) – a non-profit organization that is transforming female culture by providing conferences, workshops and mentorship programs for young women. A youth ministry graduate from Ambrose University, Alison was a youth pastor in Calgary for 10 years, but found that her favourite place to be was in schools. She has written and co-written curriculum that is being used in schools throughout Alberta and Calgary’s judicial systems. Alison was recently awarded the 2019 Women of Inspiration Difference Maker Award for the impact she is having on teens and young women across Canada.
You will find that Alison brings a unique perspective to her messages because she is on school campuses across Canada learning how to take Jesus from the Bible into
environments that are hostile towards Christians. Alison will show you how to practically apply your faith and God’s Word in various settings to transform culture. Find more information about Alison here: http://youthspeakers.ca/alison-springer/

SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Corey Stickel
Corey is a 43-year-old male, proud husband to his beautiful wife, Lindsay, and father to three amazing children. He is passionate about music, family and God. He has had the privilege of travelling the world for God working in his home country of Canada and ministering in Russia, Romania, Ukraine, Austria, Germany, England, Sweden, the UK, Denmark, and the United States. He has been involved in every aspect of leadership in the local church from worship leader and youth and young adult pastor to church planter and now leader in the business community. Additionally, he supports an international church planting organization (called Relational Mission based in the UK) as their social media director. Helping equip the next generation of leaders is something Corey is very passionate about, as this world desperately needs influencers that are not afraid to shine the light of Jesus in every realm on this earth.

Additional Speakers

Alongside our main speaker line-up, we had a break-out session lead by Lindsay Stickel and prayer sessions hosted by our ministry partner, Ellel Ministries.
Lindsay Stickel

Lindsay is a born-and-raised Lethbridge gal who now calls Calgary home.  She is a proud and loving wife to Corey Stickel and mother to three beautiful children (in the youth – young adult age range). She has spent the last decade working in the Christian school system and is passionate about sharing her story and the work that Christ is doing in her life.  The latest journey God has taken Lindsay on is that of daughter-ship and what it means to live in the freedom we have as sons and daughters of the King!
