Join fellow BCM/D pastors and teachers to hear from and dialogue with nationally-known preaching leaders, and to strengthen your preaching and teaching skills in various genres of Scripture.
Each of the conferences will focus on a different aspect of expounding God’s inexhaustible Word. Register today and join us to discuss the essential task of pastors, Sunday School teachers, and small group leaders — rightly dividing and declaring the whole counsel of God.
