it's finally back

The one weekend we bring everyone into the same room

HODC is a two-day, in-person experience for Christian singles who are done doing this alone. Real teaching, honest conversation, Holy-Spirit-led worship, and a room full of people walking the exact road you're walking — believing God has good things for their love life. After a two-year wait, we're back — in the heart of Nashville, February 12–13, 2027.

You were made for a room like this

We've watched people walk in terrified to come alone and leave with a whole new community. We've watched couples meet in this room. It does something a podcast episode never can.

Customize your experience

HODC isn't a sit-and-watch event. With multiple sessions and breakouts happening at once, you build the conference that fits exactly where you are — pick your track, choose your breakouts, and make the weekend yours.

1

Choose your breakouts

Sessions on everything from healing and body image to practical dating tools — go where you need to grow.

2

Pick your pace

Lean into teaching, or into community and mingling. Both are woven through the whole weekend.

3

Make new friends

Meet-ups and game times built in on purpose — you won't leave the way you came.

The venue

Nashville First Baptist — downtown, steps from Broadway

We're hosting in the heart of downtown Nashville. Nashville First Baptist is a breathtaking sanctuary — soaring architecture, warm brick, and stunning stained glass — right in the middle of everything the city has to offer.

Fly in, stay downtown, and you're walking distance from the music, the food, and the lights.
