Celebrating the Reformation and Worship Renewed Churches
Reformation Worship Conference 2017

Plenary SpeakersTim Challies DateOctober 12-15, 2017 LocationMidway Presbyterian Church |
Conference Description
The Reformation Worship Conference exists to encourage the church to remember her Reformation heritage, particularly as it concerns biblical, God-centered worship. The annual conference will seek to draw gifted scholars and pastors who are able to lead pastors, elders, seminarians, music directors/musicians, and congregants to a fuller understanding of the theology and practice of reformed worship. This three day conference will include multiple lectures and seminars during the day and worship services in the evenings, providing a faithful expression and model of Reformed worship for all who attend. Our prayer is that this annual conference will serve as a catalyst to bring our churches back to their Reformed roots in worship, where Reformed theology informs Lord's Day worship and is not divorced from it.
Join us this October as we celebrate the Reformation and how the theology that came from it has renewed countless churches since then. We will also look at how the Reformation applies to worship today and encourage those who attend to cultivate Reformed worship in their churches.
Register now. We know you will be blessed as, together, we sit under the teaching of God’s inerrant, authoritative, and life-giving Word.
