Save the Date: 2026 Fall Conference with Dr. Daniel Wallace

We are thrilled to announce the theme and special guest speaker for our upcoming 2026 Fall Conference: Trusting the Text: The Reliability of the New Testament. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 13!

We are excited to welcome New Testament scholar Dr. Daniel Wallace for a half-day event exploring exactly how the Scriptures were copied and preserved over the centuries.

The conference will address a critical question for modern Christians: How reliably has the New Testament been preserved? Dr. Wallace’s four sessions will work through the fascinating history of biblical transmission, addressing the realities of scribal errors while demonstrating the reliability of the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith.

Registration for the Fall Conference will officially open on May 1, 2026. Pastors, students, and lay leaders interested in the history and reliability of the Bible are encouraged to attend.

Registration Opens May 1
