Special Note from John Pace, Leadership Department Director: 

We are so excited to be back on our campuses this year for our Preaching Conferences after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. We encourage all pastors, ministers, laypeople, and other interested parties to SIGN UP TODAY and join us for this great time of in-depth Bible study and wonderful ministerial growth and fellowship as we study and are equipped to preach and teach from the book of EXODUS. As disciples and servants of Christ, we need great faith and obedience in our journey of life and ministry if we are going to fully pursue and do God’s will. The message and events of the book of Exodus provide powerful and important instruction about how God will empower, guide, and use us for His glory if we trust and obey Him. Our 2022 Preaching Conference will feature presentations that examine and analyze the background and theological lesson of Exodus, and provide powerful preaching and teaching ideas on applying these truths to our daily lives of faith and ministry.  Taught by some of the leading Bible scholars in our state in Dr. Brett Golson, Dr. Wayne VanHorn, and Dr. Ronald Meeks, the Preaching Conference provides a semester’s worth of preaching and teaching information and materials in a one-day format, and is always a blessed time of ministerial growth, fellowship, and encouragement.
