Spouses & Family
Gathering of Artisans is a special weekend. Sometimes couples or families may want to travel together but we encourage this only if everyone is registered for the conference. Otherwise, it can become a burden on the participant instead of a blessing with regards to conference schedule, workshop attendance, meals, evening worship sessions, etc.
Because this event will fill to capacity and there is limited space for attendees, we encourage spouses who are attending to be fully registered as a conference participant if they would like to attend. There is no special rate for spouses or family members.
*We do not offer payment plans. All registration fees are due upon registration. Meals & lodging fees are payable directly to Ridgecrest Conference Center and require only a deposit to reserve your room.
