Join fellow BCM/D Bible teachers to hear from and dialogue with nationally-known preaching leaders and to strengthen your teaching and preaching skills in various genres of Scripture.
Each conference 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.
