We are back to a two day conference with exciting speakers and worship opportunities to expand your knowledge and uplift your soul. We did expand a few hours, and a session will follow after lunch on Wednesday.
Kendall presents: “Procatechesis in Clement of Alexandria: A View Toward Engaging the 21st Century Skeptic”.
Steinman presents: The insistence of the NT writers that our Lord’s life, ministry, death, and resurrection were actual historical events necessary for our salvation is a key underpinning of the Gospel.
Registration and payments: Please visit the webpage to join us. Of course, you can bring a check on the day of the conference (but it helps us better prepare if done early).
Question? Email Rev. David L. Prentice, Jr, the registrar, for any and all concerns.
