If readers wish to share a room to split the cost, we will coordinate that from our office and facilitate communication among those who desire to do so. More on that later.

The booking link is active for the event date – April 2-6, 2026. The cutoff date is Friday, March 5, 2026. We encourage everyone to book their reservations before then.

You can also book your reservation by calling Central Reservations at 1-800-362-2779 and refer to the Group Name: Stone Kingdom Ministries.

All rooms will be available for check-in no earlier than 3:00 PM with a check-out time of 12:00 PM.

The Embassy Suites has a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast; i.e., omelet bar (!) and an evening reception from 5:30-7:30 PM. It includes two complimentary beverages (including beer or wine, soft drinks, water, and other non-alcoholic beverages). The facility also has a fitness center, swimming pool (indoor), and free wireless internet.

No outside food or beverages permitted, otherwise SKM will be assessed fees. No guest may bring or remove any alcohol from the premises. No minors will be served alcohol. Further the hotel reserves the right to withhold alcohol from any person deemed impaired. (God forbid, for that would bring terrible shame on us as Christians and on SKM in particular.)

Overnight and daytime self-parking is complimentary for meeting attendees.
