2025  Vision Dinner

Featuring Andrew Wood

Director of Church & Community Engagement for CareNet

2025 VISION DINNER

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”

For 40 years, with the help and support of our great partners, Salem Pregnancy Care Center has been at the forefront in the fight for life. Come and enjoy an evening of hearing the stories of the love and grace of God being shared, connect with new and old friends who share an alignment in their heart for the mission we all share, and have a look at where we’ve been, and where we are going in the coming weeks and years. You don’t want to miss it!

2025 Keynote Speaker:

Andrew Wood

Andrew Wood is a seasoned speaker, pastor-hearted leader, and storyteller with a deep love for the Gospel, family, and the local church.

For nearly two decades, Andrew has spoken across the country on stages large and small, equipping audiences with biblical truth, practical wisdom, and heartfelt stories drawn from his life as a husband, father of six, and ministry leader. His background includes almost a decade leading a large life-affirming non-profit ministry in the state of Tennessee, three years as a children’s pastor, and served in senior leadership with state and national pro-life organizations across the United States.

With a passion for godly leadership, intentional parenting, Christ-centered marriage, and discipleship in the local church, Andrew brings a timely word to churches, conferences, and communities seeking to build lives that last. Andrew combines dry wit, compelling storytelling, and rich biblical teaching that helps audiences laugh and reflect as they walk away encouraged, challenged, and inspired.

You will want to arrive in enough time to check in, get your name tag, snap some pictures in the photo booth, and find your table.

For lunch, we will be having a salad with (or without) a chicken breast, with a side of seasonal vegetables.

For dinner this year we have a choice of filet of beef, chicken or a vegan option.

If you have not already chosen when you registered, please let us know your choice by Sept. 17th.

If we don’t hear from you, the dinner default is the filet of beef, and the lunch default is chicken.

Do keep in mind that this venue is located in downtown Winston Salem. The city deck close to the Benton Convention Center is the best option. Your other option is street parking as available.

We do not recommend parking in the parking deck across from the bus terminal as this is a private lot and they close the gates before we finish for the night and it is difficult to get them to come let you out.

Lunch Attire: Business Casual/ Smart Casual/ or your Sunday’s Best!

Dinner Attire: Semi-formal/Formal – A chance to dress up and have a night out on the town for a great cause!

The events will be very similar in the program, with the overall atmosphere being less formal at the lunch event.  There may be additional changes that occur during the preparation time up until the day of the Vision Dinner Events. The main differences will be in the menu selection and the dress code/attire.
